On physical background of nerve pulse propagation: heat and energy

Jüri Engelbrecht,
Kert Tamm,
Tanel Peets

Abstract: Recent studies have revealed the complex structure of nerve signals in axons. Besides the electrical signal, mechanical and thermal effects are also detected in many experimental studies. In this paper, the mathematical models of heat generation are analysed within the framework of a general model derived earlier by the authors. The main mechanisms of the heat generation are seemingly the Joule heating and endo-and exothermic reactions. The concept of internal variables permits to model the heat relaxation typ… Show more
