Dendrites are extensions to the neuronal cell body in the brain which are posited in several functions ranging from electrical and chemical compartmentalization to coincident detection. Dendrites vary across cell types but one common…
We study the dynamics of an inclined tensioned, heavy cable traveling with a constant speed in the vertical plane. The cable is modeled as a beam resisting bending and shear. The governing equation for the transverse in-plane vibrations of…
The spatiotemporal stochastic dynamics of the voltage as well as the upcrossing rate are derived for a model neuron comprising a long dendrite with uniformly distributed filtered excitatory and inhibitory synaptic drive. A cascade of…
Instabilities and pattern formation is the rule in nonequilibrium systems. Selection of a persistent lengthscale, or coarsening (increase of the lengthscale with time) are the two major alternatives. When and under which conditions one…
We study solutions to a recently proposed neural field model in which dendrites are modelled as a continuum of vertical fibres stemming from a somatic layer. Since voltage propagates along the dendritic direction via a cable equation with…
Neuronal cable theory is usually derived from an electric analogue of the membrane, which contrasts with the slow movement of ions in aqueous media. We show here that it is possible to derive neuronal cable equations from a different…
We study spreading dynamics of nematic liquid crystal droplets within the framework of the long-wave approximation. A fourth order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation governing the free surface evolution is derived. The…
Transmembrane ion flow through channel proteins undergoing density fluctuations may cause lateral gradients of the electrical potential across the membrane giving rise to electrophoresis of charged channels. A model for the dynamics of the…
Signal propagation in neuronal dendrites represents the basis for interneuron communication and information processing in the brain. Here we take into account charge inhomogeneities arising in the vicinity of ion channels in cytoplasm and…
In this year, in which we celebrate 100 years of the cosmological term, $\Lambda$, in Einstein's gravitational field equations, we are still facing the crucial question whether $\Lambda$ is truly a fundamental constant or a mildly evolving…
A model of mobile, charged ion channels in a fluid membrane is studied. The channels may switch between an open and a closed state according to a simple two-state kinetics with constant rates. The effective electrophoretic charge and the…
The elapsed-time model describes the behavior of interconnected neurons through the time since their last spike. It is an age-structured non-linear equation in which age corresponds to the elapsed time since the last discharge, and models…
Cable theory has been developed over the last decades, usually assuming that the extracellular space around membranes is a perfect resistor. However, extracellular media may display more complex electrical properties due to various…
Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations with cosmic string and space varying cosmological constant, viz., $\Lambda= \Lambda(r)$, in the energy-momentum tensors are presented. Three cases have been studied: where variable…
It has been known for more than 300 years that the shape of an inelastic hanging cable, chain, or rope of uniform linear mass density is the graph of the hyperbolic cosine, up to scaling and shifting coordinates. But given two points at…
We study existence and stability of travelling waves for nonlinear convection diffusion equations in the 1-D Euclidean space. The diffusion coefficient depends on the gradient in analogy with the p-Laplacian and may be degenerate.…
The one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with the point potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function, $\lambda \delta'(x)$ with $\lambda$ being a coupling constant, is investigated. This equation is known to require…
Random walks are studied on disordered cellular networks in 2-and 3-dimensional spaces with arbitrary curvature. The coefficients of the evolution equation are calculated in term of the structural properties of the cellular system. The…
We perform an analytical investigation of the cell interface dynamics in the framework of a minimal phase field model of cell motility suggested in [1], which consists of two coupled evolution equations for the order parameter and a…
We focus on studying, numerically, the scalar curvature tensor in a two-dimensional discrete space. The continuous metric of a two-sphere is transformed into that of a lattice using two possible slicings. In the first, we use two integers,…
