Action Potential Thresholds and Excitability from the Geometry of Membrane Potential

A novel mathematical framework to define the threshold of action potentials in excitable cells is presented.

A novel mathematical framework to define the threshold of action potentials in excitable cells is presented. Unlike previously applied methods that rely on approximations or bifurcations, the approach focuses on the geometry of membrane potential trajectories. The changes in…
