NEUROLUNCH | Mechanical Waves in Neurons: Action Waves Due to Action Potentials, March 21

For this week’s NEUROLUNCH, Ali Khaledi Nasab discusses “Mechanical waves in the neurons: Action waves due to action potentials” on Tuesday March 21, at noon in Life Sciences Building 201.

“I will start with the recent paper about the measurement of the mechanical waves in the lobster neurons, and I will finish with the recent and the only model developed for the mechanical waves,” Nasab says.

The references for the talk include:

• Solitary electromechanical pulses in lobster neurons
• Mechanical surface waves accompany action potential propagation
• Transmural Ultrasound-based Visualization of Patterns of Action Potential Wave Propagation in Cardiac Tissue
