The vast majority of excitatory synaptic connections occur on dendritic spines. Due to their extremely small volume and spatial segregation from the dendrite, even moderate synaptic currents can significantly alter ionic concentrations. This results in chemical potential gradients between the dendrite and the spine head, leading to measurable electrical currents. In modeling electric signals in spines, different formalisms were previously used. While the cable equation is fundamental for understanding the electrical potential along dendrites, it only considers electrical currents as a result of gradients in electrical potential. The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations offer a more accurate description for spines by incorporating both electrical and chemical potential. However, solving PNP equations is computationally complex. In this work, diffusion currents are incorporated into the cable equation, leveraging an analogy between chemical and electrical potential. For simulating electric signals based on this extension of the cable equation, a straightforward numerical solver is introduced. The study demonstrates that this set of equations can be accurately solved using an explicit finite difference scheme. Through numerical simulations, this study unveils a previously unrecognized mechanism involving diffusion currents that amplify electric signals in spines. This discovery holds crucial implications for both numerical simulations and experimental studies focused on spine neck resistance and calcium signaling in dendritic spines.
