Drift-Diffusion Simulation of the Ephaptic Effect in the Triad Synapse of the Retina

Drift-Diffusion Simulation of the Ephaptic Effect in the Triad Synapse of the Retina

abstract: A general continuum model for simulating the flow of ions in the salt baths that surround and fill excitable neurons is developed and presented. The ion densities and electric potential are computed using the drift-diffusion equations. In addition, a detailed model is given for handling th...
