Fiber interaction in a nerve trunk

Fiber interaction in a nerve trunk

J W Clark Jr et al. Biophys J. 1971 Mar.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the nature of the transmembrane potential induced in an inactive nerve fiber lying in an impressed potential field within a nerve trunk. The impressed potential field is assumed to be produced by the synchronous activity of other fibers within the trunk; an expression for the induced transmembrane potential is obtained utilizing the principles of electromagnetic field theory. The results strongly indicate that membrane capacitance is the main determinant of the induced transmembrane potential wave form.
