Membranes in Optic Nerve Models
Yi Zhu, Shixin Xu, Robert S. Eisenberg +1
Membranes are present in all cells and tissues. Mathematical models of cells and tissues need a compact mathematical description of membranes with a resolution of about 1 nm. Membr…
Optic Nerve Microcirculation: Fluid Flow and Electrodiffusion
Yi Zhu, Shixin Xu, Robert S. Eisenberg +1
Complex fluids flow in complex ways in complex structures. Transport of water and various organic and inorganic molecules in the central nervous system are important in a wide rang…
A Tridomain Model for Potassium Clearance in Optic Nerve of Necturus
Yi Zhu, Shixin Xu, Robert S. Eisenberg +1
The accumulation of potassium in the narrow space outside nerve cells is a classical subject of biophysics that has received much attention recently. It may be involved in potassiu…
A Bidomain Model for Lens Microcirculation
Yi Zhu, Shixin Xu, Robert S. Eisenberg +1
There exists a large body of research on the lens of mammalian eye over the past several decades. The objective of the current work is to provide a link between the most recent com…
