Abstract: Here we propose a deterministic model for computing the electric potential of axonal membrane, based on simplifications of the properties of its ion channels. The model can reproduce typical dynamic behaviors, like passive (exponential) decay, generation and propagation of action potentials, and frequency adaptation. Numerical results are compared to theoretical analyses and experimental data, showing good agreement.
