Neuronal Communication

Neuronal Communication

Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, communicate through complex electrochemical signals that underpin all cognitive and bodily functions. This communication is primarily facilitated by a process involving the generation and propagation of an action potential along the axon of the neuron. When the internal electrical charge of a neuron surpasses a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered. This rapid change in voltage travels swiftly along the axon to the...

Background:

Nanoscale transient communication (NTC) involves communication links with physically degrading components.
System degradability enables benign integration in biomedical, environmental, and military applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze NTC systems focusing on channel modeling and capacity analysis.
To investigate the slow transience scenario where component degeneration is gradual.

Main Methods:

Developed parsimonious models for NTC channels, considering Terahertz (THz), diffusion-based molecular communication (DMC), and nanobots-assisted touchable communication (TouchCom).
Revisited and adapted the ϵ-outage channel capacity for NTC systems.
Introduced the capacity degeneration profile (CDP) to quantify capacity reduction over time.

Main Results:

Novel channel models were created for different NTC physical layers.
The ϵ-outage capacity was reformulated for transient nanoscale systems.
The capacity degeneration profile (CDP) was defined and illustrated with numerical examples.

Conclusions:

This work provides a systematic evaluation framework for time-varying nanoscale communication systems.
The CDP offers insights into the performance degradation of NTC systems.
The findings are crucial for designing reliable NTC applications.
