| Abstract: |
| The simplest biophysical model of an excitable cell like a neuron is a conductance-based model. The cell membrane is treated as a capacitor and the states of the ion channels are represented by conductances.
Such a model allows a neuron to be studied as a dynamical system.
Techniques of optimal control have been applied to study these models.
With collaborators, I have studied minimization of energy consumption of a neuron that produces an action potential.
In this talk, I will discuss recent work. |
