Abstract
Mechanical deformations of neuronal membrane occur when exposed to an electrical pulse. A one-dimensional mathematical model of such deformations of a cylindrical cell is proposed, based on the fluid dynamics equations and the Lippmann equation connecting electric effects with the membrane strength. The model qualitatively reproduces experimentally observed effects of cell membrane mechanical deformations evoked by both an action potential moving along axon and an electric pulse injected through electrode.
