Modulation of individual neuron activity with external electric fields

Neurons are highly-specialized cells capable of receiving and generating electrical signals through the controlled flow of ions across their cell membranes. This behavior is represented mathematically as a series of coupled nonlinear differential equations, which can be efficiently solved with numerical integrators. As such, detailed computational models of neurons are readily-achievable and allow for in-depth investigations of neuronal dynamics that are not typically possible in in vitro or in vivo studies.Bachelor of Scienc
