Realistic modeling of mesoscopic ephaptic coupling in the human brain
Fig 1
First order model for interaction of electric fields with elongated neurons.
On the left, pyramidal neuron population from the human cortex (edited from “Comparative study of the sensory areas of the human cortex” by Santiago Ramon y Cajal, published in 1899, Wikipedia Public Domain). On the right, realistic model of the electric field generated by a current a dipole located at x in the cortex. The orientation of the generating dipole or neuron population and the sensing population (at point y) both play a role.
