Modeling Electrical Potential in Multi-Dendritic Neurons Using Bessel Functions

by Kaouther Selmi, Souhaila Khalfallah and Kais Bouallegue

Med. Sci. Forum 2024, 28(1), 2; https://doi.org/10.3390/msf2024028002 - 20 Mar 2025

Understanding the distribution of electrical potential within neurons is critical for advancing our comprehension of neuronal signaling and communication. Neurons, the fundamental units of the nervous system, rely on complex electrochemical processes to transmit information. The intricate structure of neurons, especially those with multiple dendrites, plays a crucial role in how these electrical signals are generated, propagated, and integrated. Despite significant progress in neuroscience, accurately modeling the electrical potential within neurons with elaborate dendritic architectures remains a challenge. This article introduces a novel approach to modeling the electrical potential in multi-dendritic neurons using Bessel functions, which offers a more precise and detailed representation of these processes. The proposed method involves solving the electric potential diffusion equation in cylindrical coordinates, a mathematical framework that naturally aligns with the geometry of dendrites. The radial and axial components of the solution are expressed using Bessel functions and sinusoidal functions, respectively. Bessel functions are particularly well-suited for this purpose due to their ability to describe waveforms in cylindrical systems, making them ideal for capturing the spatial variations in electrical potential within the cylindrical shape of dendrites. By leveraging this mathematical approach, we obtain a complete representation of the potential distribution across the neuron, from the soma (cell body) through the dendrites to the synaptic terminals. This model accurately captures the spatial variations of electrical potential in different regions of the neuron, including areas with complex dendritic arborizations, which are branching structures that significantly influence the neuron’s electrical characteristics. Simulation results underscore the effectiveness of this approach in reproducing realistic neuronal behavior. The model successfully mimics the way electrical signals propagate and interact within dendritic structures, providing crucial insights into the underlying mechanisms of signal integration and transmission in neurons.

The climate crisis, combined with the COVID-19 lockdown measures, exacerbated pre-existing psychological conditions among young people experiencing climate anxiety due to a lack of information and a diffuse sense of powerlessness. The current study aimed to find correlations between the health status of a community, the environmental determinants among youths, and how these affect their vision of climate change and their mental health. An exploratory survey was conducted among people aged between 18 and 33 years old from three continents, with a focus on emotional states related to natural disasters occurring in their regions. The online survey consisted of six questions. The pilot phase results showed that more females from India experienced stressful situations related to climate change, and that respondents aged between 18 and 20 years old were more informed about eco-anxiety. Given its growing frequency among young adults, further studies should be conducted to address the problem and create alternatives and coping mechanisms such as climate action. Full article

Transboundary water pollution is a major global challenge as its movement and impacts remain unsurveyed. Monitoring pollution along international borders can reveal some of the pathways by which sewage and chemicals enter water bodies, and can hence advance the implementation of measures to prevent leakages and discharges into international waters. In this paper, we surveyed the impacts of sewage pollution and chemicals along the U.S.–Mexico international border, using Imperial Beach (California) as a main case study. Pollution was primarily attributed to the inflow of contaminated waters from the neighboring city of Tijuana (Mexico), where a malfunctioning wastewater treatment plant and a lack of sewage pipes being upgraded have caused direct leakage and toxic discharges into the Tijuana River. Reported effects from water pollution at the Tijuana River estuary in Imperial Beach include frequent beach closure, damages to coastal ecosystems, negative impacts on the fishery industry, and several effects on the health of beach users and surfers. Hence, the situation requires urgent measures oriented at coastal management at the mouth of the Tijuana River as well as the consistent monitoring and reporting of human health effects linked to beach uses.

Maternal health is a serious concern for many nations due to a lack of appropriate healthcare facilities, healthcare staff, and late diagnoses of life-threatening diseases. Pregnant women suffer with numerous challenges during the pregnancy and childbirth. Non-communicable diseases, a lack of nutrition in diets, and unawareness of the risks associated with pregnancy are the primary reasons for these challenges. Sometimes these reasons become a direct cause of maternal mortality as well. Awareness of the risks and early detection may contribute to a reduction in maternal deaths during pregnancy and childbirth. Various ICTs have been incorporated into the healthcare industry to diagnose the issue as quickly as is feasible and an appropriate remedy can be initiated to treat diseases. Machine Learning (ML) techniques have the potential to predict the probable risk factors for timely interventions; however, challenge arises when the data are limited and unstructured. The Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithms, with 10-fold cross validation, are used in this study. The dataset utilized in this study included both the present and past medical histories and important vitals of pregnant women. With a test score of 98.8%, the Decision Tree (DT) algorithm outperformed other algorithms, according to the results. Based on the predicted result, pregnant women can consult with medical specialists for their consultation to reduce the potential difficulties in the near future. Full article

Soil use and its proper management are key elements of sustainable development. However, given the complexity of the issue, it is necessary to address it using an interdisciplinary approach. The proposed work aims to analyze the consequences, in terms of damage assessment, of two different soil management systems of a cereal crop through the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. One system follows a traditional approach and the other utilizes a Decision Support System (DSS). The long-term impacts on human health, ecosystems, and resource availability are calculated by employing the ReCiPe 2016 endpoint method. The results show notable reductions in resource use and environmental impacts with DSS, with a 41% decrease in damage to human health, a 24% reduction in ecosystem damage, and a 23% reduction in resource use. Hence, implementing new technologies and new management strategies in agriculture can lead to more sustainable management choices and can avoid long-term burdens compared to a traditional approach.
