The effect of intercellular medium salinity on the dielectric constant of cell membranes and the excitation thresholds of the action potential

The paper explains axon swelling and compression during action potential propagation by osmotic pressure changes and discusses the effect of external electrolyte salinity on the dielectric constant and excitation threshold.

The possibility of anesthesia stimulated by a train of current pulses

The paper proposes a theoretical model of using unipolar current pulses to block action potentials in sensory neurons, enabling anesthesia without drugs by adjusting pulse frequency and parameters based on skin and saline conductivity.

Physical model of electrical synapses in a neural network

The paper proposes a theoretical model of electrical synapses where connexons act as structural elements enabling electrical coupling through intercellular currents.
