Abstract

Neuronal interactions with electric fields depend on the
biophysical properties of the neuronal membrane as well
as the geometry of the cell relative to the field vector.
Biophysically detailed modeling of these spatial effects is
central to understanding neuron-to-neuron electrical
(ephaptic) interactions as well as how externally applied
electrical fields, such as radio-frequency radiation from
wireless devices or therapeutic Deep Brain Stimulation
(DBS), interact with neurons. Here we examine in detail
the shape-dependent response properties of cells in
oscillating electrical fields by solving Maxwell’s equations
for a geometrically extended neuron of various
radii-to-length ratios.
