kabellikningen
Kabellikningen, also known as the "cable equation," is a fundamental concept in neurobiology used to describe the propagation of electrical signals along the length of an axon. It is a partial differential equation that models how voltage changes over both time and distance in a cylindrical or branched structure like a nerve fiber. The equation accounts for the cable's electrical properties, including its resistance and capacitance, as well as the properties of the surrounding medium.
The basic form of the cable equation is derived using principles of electrical circuit theory, treating the
Variations of the cable equation exist to model different scenarios, such as the presence of myelin sheaths
