Background:

Cortical spreading depression (CSD) involves brain tissue depolarization, ionic shifts, and cellular swelling.
Understanding CSD mechanisms is crucial for neurological research.

Purpose of the Study:

To validate a computational framework for modeling CSD.
To simulate electrical potentials, ion movement, and cellular swelling during CSD.
To compare computational results with experimental data from wild-type and knock-out/knock-down mice.

Main Methods:

Developed and validated a computational framework for CSD modeling.
Simulated electrical potentials, ionic concentrations (e.g., K+), and extracellular space (ECS) changes.
Compared model outputs (wave speed, DC shift duration, K+ peak, ECS shrinkage) with experimental findings.

Main Results:

Computational model accurately reproduced experimental CSD hallmarks.
Simulated wave propagation speed, DC shift duration, peak extracellular K+, and ECS shrinkage aligned with experimental data.
Key model parameters influencing CSD characteristics were identified.

Conclusions:

The computational framework provides a reliable tool for studying CSD.
The model aids in understanding CSD mechanisms and effects of genetic modifications (WT vs. knock-out/knock-down).
Further research can explore parameter impacts on CSD dynamics.
