Abstract

The dynamic geometry of neuronal development is an essential concept in theoretical neuroscience. We aimed to design a mathematical model which outlines stepwise in an innovative form and designed to model neuronal development geometrically and modelling spatially the neuronal-electrical field interaction. We demonstrated flexibility in forming the cell and its nucleus to show neuronal growth from inside to outside that uses a fractal cylinder to generate neurons (pyramidal/sphere) in form of mathematically called 'surface of revolution'. Furthermore, we verified the effect of the adjacent neurons on a free branch from one-side, by modelling a 'normal vector surface' that represented a group of neurons. Our model also indicated how the geometrical shapes and clustering of the neurons can be transformed mathematically in the form of vector field that is equivalent to the neuronal electromagnetic activity/electric flux. We further simulated neuronal-electrical field interaction that was implemented spatially using Van der Pol oscillator and taking Laplacian vector field as it reflects biophysical mechanism of neuronal activity and geometrical change. In brief, our study would be considered a proper platform and inspiring modelling for next more complicated geometrical and electrical constructions.
