Electrodiffusion Model Simulation of Rectangular Current Pulses in a
Voltage-Biased Biological Channel
Abstract
Rectangular-wave ionic current pulses which are stochastic in time are
observed in the channels of cellular membranes. The flow of ions
through the channel can be modeled by electrodiffusion
(drift-diffusion) PDEs. This talk will present an electrodiffusion
model and simulations (using the TRBDF2 numerical method) of
rectangular current pulses for a voltage-biased biological channel.
Comparison with experimental measurements will be discussed.
