Spreading depression (SD) and the related hypoxic SD-like depolarization (HSD) are
characterized by rapid and nearly complete depolarization of a sizable population of brain …

Spreading depolarization is observed as a large negative shift of the direct current potential,
swelling of neuronal somas, and dendritic beading in the brain's gray matter and represents …

In the last decade, the measurement of activity-dependent intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) in
excitable tissues has become a useful tool for collecting data about spatial patterns of …

Müller cells are the dominant macroglial cells in the retina of all vertebrates. They fulfill a
variety of functions important for retinal physiology, among them spatial buffering of K+ ions …

Several explanations have been proposed to account for the mechanisms of neuroglial
interactions involved in neural plasticity. We review experimental results addressing plastic …

Spreading depression (SD) is a propagating wave of neuronal activity in the central nervous
system and may play a role in triggering classical migraine. The retina serves as a model …

This review deals with a phenomenon which, although it has been known for five decades,
has not been recognized until recently as a suitable tool for investigations of neuronal-glial …

To describe the spatio-temporal patterns of excitable media, the relationship between
frequency and propagating velocity of a wave (dispersion relation) is an important issue …

A model of gap-junction mediated spreading depression (SD) is presented. Ionic movement
through a neuronal syncytium of gap junction connected cells is modeled electrodiffusively …

The brain is an excitable media in which excitation waves propagate at several scales of
time and space.''One-dimensional''action potentials (millisecond scale) along the axon …
