Analysis of Passive Charge Balancing for Safe Current-Mode Neural Stimulation [PDF]
Charge balancing has been often considered as one of the most critical requirement for neural stimulation circuits. Over the years several solutions have been proposed to precisely balance the charge transferred to the tissue during anodic and ...

Cnidarian Nerve Nets and Neuromuscular Efficiency [PDF]
Cnidarians are considered "nerve net animals" even though their nervous systems include various forms of condensation and centralization. Yet, their broad, two-dimensional muscle sheets are innervated by diffuse nerve nets. Do the motor nerve nets represent a primitive organization of multicellular nervous systems, do they represent a consequence of ...

Modelling selective activation of small myelinated nerve fibres using a monopolar point electrode [PDF]
The aim of this study is to investigate theoretically the possibility for activation of small myelinated nerve fibres without activating larger ones when stimulating a nerve fibre bundle using a monopolar point electrode.

Vagal nerve stimulation therapy: what is being stimulated? [PDF]
Vagal nerve stimulation in cardiac therapy involves delivering electrical current to the vagal sympathetic complex in patients experiencing heart failure. The therapy has shown promise but the mechanisms by which any benefit accrues is not understood. In

Effect of Structure on Function in Model Nerve Nets
A theoretical analysis has been made on the effect of the pattern of interneuronal connectivity in model nerve nets on the activity of these nets. Two types of nets have been investigated: one in which the likelihood of a connection between a given neuron and any other element in the net is given by a Poisson probability distribution, and a second type

Craniometaphyseal and craniodiaphyseal dysplasia, head and neck manifestations and management [PDF]
Craniometaphyseal and craniodiaphyseal dysplasia are rare genetic disorders of bone due to modelling errors of long bones and skull bones. These syndromes present with multiple ENT symptomatology from an early age.

A mathematical model for calculating the effect of toroidal geometry on the measured magnetic field [PDF]
A mathematical model to calculate the measured magnetic field from a stimulated nerve has been presented in the past. Traditionally, electrodes have been used to measure these propagating action signals in nerves, but a less invasive technique is to use ...

It is important to investigate the characteristics of nerve nets from the macroscopic viewpoint, in order to elucidate the information processing of the brain composed of an enormous number of neurons. The present paper aims at establishing a mathematical theory of nerve nets mainly from the macroscopic viewpoint.A method of statistical neurodynamics ...
