Abortive and propagating intracellular calcium waves: analysis from a hybrid model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The functional properties of inositol(1,4,5)-triphosphate (IP3) receptors allow a variety of intracellular Ca(2+) phenomena. In this way, global phenomena, such as propagating and abortive Ca(2+) waves, as well as local events such as puffs, have been ...

Biophysics software for interdisciplinary education and research [PDF]
, 2013 Biophysics is a subject that is spread over many disciplines and transcends the skills and knowledge of the individual student. This makes it challenging both to teach and to learn. Educational materials are described to aid in teaching undergraduates biophysics in an interdisciplinary manner.

Integrative And Comparative Biology, 2023 Synopsis The symposium “Large-scale biological phenomena arising from small-scale biophysical processes” at the SICB 2023 Annual General Meeting focused on the cross-disciplinary exploration of emergent phenomena in biology. Interactions between cells or organisms at small scales within a system can govern patterns occurring at larger ...

Biophysical aspects of neurocognitive modeling with long-term sustained temperature variations [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Long-term focused attention with visualization and breathing exercises is at the core of various Eastern traditions. Neurocognitive and psychosomatic phenomena demonstrated during such exercises were instrumentally explored with EEG and other sensors.

A Quantitative Overview of Biophysical Forces Governing Neural Function [PDF]
, 2013 The Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model is the currently accepted formalism of neuronal excitability. However, the HH model does not capture a number of biophysical behaviors associated with action potentials or propagating nerve impulses. Physical mechanisms underlying these processes, such as reversible heat transfer and axonal swelling have been separately ...

The Role of Data in Model Building and Prediction: A Survey Through Examples [PDF]
Entropy 2018, 20(10), 807, 2018 The goal of Science is to understand phenomena and systems in order to predict their development and gain control over them. In the scientific process of knowledge elaboration, a crucial role is played by models which, in the language of quantitative sciences, mean abstract mathematical or algorithmical representations.

"The Physics of Life," an undergraduate general education biophysics course [PDF]
, 2014 Improving the scientific literacy of non-scientists is an important goal, both because of the ever-increasing impact of science and technology on our lives, and because understanding science enriches our experience of the natural world. One route to improving scientific literacy is via general education undergraduate courses -- i.e.

Low-dimensional models of single neurons: A review [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The classical Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) point-neuron model of action potential generation is four-dimensional. It consists of four ordinary differential equations describing the dynamics of the membrane potential and three gating variables associated to a transient sodium and a delayed-rectifier potassium ionic currents.
