New user - Electrodes and neuron models

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone.

I am a very new user of COMSOL, and I have a few basic questions about the modelling I want to do. I am trying to model a region of the brain (that is, a collection of neurons), and how it responds to being electrically stimulated by microelectrodes. The neurons that I want to model are presumed to function like a circuit with multiple compartments, and are modelled by differential equations present in Hodgkin and Huxley's work (1952). I know that this sort of thing can be done, as I have papers which reference COMSOL and model these sorts of problems. My question is - how can I use COMSOL to model this problem, and which parts of COMSOL are relevant to it?

Your help is much appreciated.

Andrew.

Hi, this is exactly what I'm trying to do right now, and I was wondering if you ever figured out the answer to your question. Thanks
