  • Simulated depolarizing afterpotentials (DAP) and hyperpolarizing afterpotentials (AHP) with varying stimulation frequencies.
  • Captured normal conditions: relative refractoriness, early AHP, and spike adaptation.

    • Conclusions:

    • The mathematical model successfully replicated experimental findings.
    • The model's ability to reproduce results, including those from long-lasting stimulation, is vital for visual prosthesis development.
