Effects of the dynamics of noise-induced calcium signals in a biophysical model of the astrocytic process by Ermolaeva, Anastasia Viktorovna, Kastalskiy, Innokentiy A., Kazantsev, Viktor Borisovich, Gordleeva, Susanna Yurevna

“…The model describes the process of generation of spontaneous Ca2+ signals induced by the stochastic activation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels on the plasma membrane of the astrocyte. The model allows us to study the dynamics of the propagation of spontaneous local Ca2+ signals and the mechanisms of formation of spatial Ca2+ patterns in the astrocytic process. …”
