Modulation of signal transmission in myelinated axons by feedback conduction currents
摘要
In the nervous system, action potentials (APs) that propagate along axons are the primary carriers of encoded information. On the basis of the Hodgkin-Huxley model, this study constructs a model of a myelinated cortical axon to investigate the conduction dynamics of action potentials under sinusoidal and synaptic-like random current stimulation. The results demonstrated that under sinusoidal input, the stimulation frequency (fin) and amplitude (Ain) jointly regulated the frequency-locked mode (r = fout/fin) at the proximal axon. AP transmission was modulated by the internodal conductance (κ) and feedback conduction current (I
