Abstract:
On the basis of the conception of the discrete wave mechanism for the integration of heterogeneous neuron elements, a hypothesis was put forward that neuron excitation propagates as waves of changes in the conformational states of neuron membrane lipids. A mathematical model was constructed, which confirms the wave mode of excitation propagation. The model enables one to consider the integration of postsynaptic potentials as a process of wave interference. It was assumed that the training of neuron elements can be considered as a process of nonuniform distribution of lipids.
