Action potentials and solitons
Jüri Engelbrecht, Kert Tamm, Tanel Peets
During the last decade, the notion of solitons has been mentioned in neuroscience related to the propagation of action potentials (AP). In this paper, based on many studies in math…
On phenomenology of physical effects in axons
Jüri Engelbrecht, Kert Tamm, Tanel Peets
This paper deals with the mathematical modelling of signal propagation in nerve fibres. Due to the complexity of the processes where electrical, mechanical, and thermal effects are…
From modelling to understanding: the signals in nerves
Jüri Engelbrecht, Kert Tamm, Tanel Peets
This paper attempts to review our studies on the propagation of signals in nerves over the past decade. The need for interdisciplinary studies is stressed that helps to understand…
The modelling of the action potentials in myelinated nerve fibres
Kert Tamm, Tanel Peets, Jüri Engelbrecht
The initial version of the planned paper has gone through a major revision in 2025. First, the paper ended up growing a bit too long, and as a result of that, we decided to split i…
On concepts of mathematical physics for modelling signals in axons
Tanel Peets, Kert Tamm, Jüri Engelbrecht
In this short paper, the results of the paper by Drab et al. (Eur. Phys. J. E (2022) 45:79) are described in the framework of wave mechanics and mathematical physics based on commo…
On mechanisms of electromechanophysiological interactions between the components of nerve signals in axons
Jüri Engelbrecht, Kert Tamm, Tanel Peets
Recent studies have revealed the complex structure of nerve signals in axons. There is experimental evidence that the propagation of an electrical signal (action potential) is acco…
