High-frequency signals: a comparison between the cable equation and telegrapher’s equations in nerves

Abstract Transmission of electrical impulses along axons is commonly modelled with the cable equation, which neglects the inductive effects that have been measured in nerves. By using the telegrapher’s equations, it is possible to incorporate inductive effects and compare with the non-inductive case...
