We have extended a fast, stable, and accurate method for the numerical solution of cable equations to include changes in geometry and membrane properties in order to model a single excitable cell realistically. In addition, by including the provision that the radius may be a function of distance along an axis, we have achieved a general and powerful method for simulating a cell with any number of branched processes, any or all of which may be nonuniform in diameter, and with no restriction on the branching pattern.
我们扩展了一种用于电缆方程数值解的快速、稳定且准确的方法,以纳入几何形状和膜特性的变化,从而逼真地模拟单个可兴奋细胞。此外,通过规定半径可以是沿轴距离的函数,我们实现了一种通用且强大的方法,可用于模拟具有任意数量分支过程的细胞,其中任何或所有分支过程的直径都可能不均匀,并且对分支模式没有限制。
