|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
A mathematical model is proposed to describe a heat wave accompanying the spreading cortical depression wave in the large brain. The model takes into account heat production of neurons, thermal transmission with thermoconductivity and volume thermal losses. The model fits well for the wave shape and permits one to estimate heat production which is about 4-20 J/g X min.
