Cable equation axonal propagation

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Nervous System Physiology subtree

Linear cable equation τ ∂V/∂t = λ² ∂²V/∂x² - V (Kelvin 1855 / Rall 1959) with τ=R_m C_m, λ=√(R_m d/4 R_i) governs sub-threshold passive propagation in axons/dendrites. Adding Hodgkin-Huxley nonlinearity yields the active travelling-wave…
