3 INTRODUCTION Trying to find and analyze the simplest possible model of local ion dynamics that can be biophysically interpreted.... shows spreading depression dynamics. What has been done? A lot! An incomplete list... Hodgkin Huxley cardiac models (DiFrancesco, Noble, 198s) cortical ion dynamics: Kager, Wadman, Somjen Barreto, Cressman Schiff, Ullah Bazhenov, Fröhlich Zandt What do we do? investigate entire repertoire of ion dynamics in simple model bifurcation analysis of ion dynamics slow fast interpretation of ion dynamics in SD phase space interpretation of ion dynamics

4 HODGKIN HUXLEY MODEL (HH) Developed for the description of action potentials. equivalent electrical circuit lipid bilayer is a capacitor channel is a conductor in series with a battery energy from batteries not dissipated

6 HH APPROXIMATIONS V / mv a) membrane potential b) sodium inactivation c) sodium activation dynamic adiabatic t / msec. h t / msec. m t / msec. The action potential dynamics can be approximated by an adiabatic approximation for the sodium activation: m = m (V) assuming a functional dependence between sodium inactivation and potassium activation: h = f (n) Two dimensional HH model rate eqations: V = 1 C m ion ṅ = n n τ n I ion gating constraints: m = m (V) h = exp( 6.5(n.35))

7 ION BASED MODEL surroundings Na + K + I P Na + I Na Na + Na + ECS Na + ICS + K K K + K + The ion based model contains intracellular space (ICS) extracellular space (ECS) + I K K + Na + Note: The membrane separates ICS and ECS. Effects from surroundings are not included here closed system Ion dynamics The flux of ions across the membrane is induced by the transmembrane currents. The novel effects include: Nernst potentials are dynamic: E ion = 26.6mV z ( ) ln ioni ion e Ion pumps are needed to maintain the resting state.

8 ION BASED MODEL Rate equations V = 1 C m (I Na + I K + I Cl I p ) ṅ = n n τ n Na i = γ ω i (I Na + 3I p ) K i = γ ω i (I K 2I p ) Cl i = + γ ω i I Cl Note: Na i + K i Cl i Cmγ ω i V = conservation law four dimensional dynamics Constraints Gating constraints: m = m (V) h = h sig (n) Mass conservation: Na e = Na e + ω i ω e (Na i Na i ) K e = K e + ω i ω e (K i K i ) Cl e = Cl e + ω i ω e (Cl i Cl i ) Parameters: volumes ω i/e conversion factor γ

9 DONNAN EQUILIBRIUM IN ION BASED MODEL The conservation law implies electroneutrality: = Na i + K i Cl i C mγ V ω i Q i = (Na i + K i Cl i ) = C mγ ω }{{ i } O(1 4 mm mv ) V ω i 2,16µm 3 ω e 72µm 3 F 96485C/mol A m 922µm 2 γ 9.556e 3 µm2 mol C The equilibrium without pumps... = dion i dt = ± γ ω i (g l ion +...)(V E ion) E Na = E K = E Cl E Na = E K = E Cl Q i }... is the Donnan equilibrium! Note: No impermeant anions included!

The transition from the physiological resting state to the Donnan equilibrium follows. ion fluxes until spiking begin spiking until depolarization block is reached final asymptotic phase until Donnan equilibrium is attained What if we turn the pumps on again?

11 V/ mv ion/ mm Potentials: pump switch-off V E K E N a E C l t/ sec Concentrations: pump switch-off Na i K i Cl i Na e K e Cl e t/ sec V/ mv ion/ mm Potentials: pump interruption t/ sec Concentrations: pump interruption t/ sec Another stable state shows up!

We frame the term free energy starvation (FES) for this condition.

13 ion/ mm Concentrations: pump interruption t/ sec V/ mv Potentials: pump interruption t/ sec Phys. resting state Pumps compensate for leak currents. FES Pumps compensate for gated currents. They cannot re establish physiological conditions. Symbol phys. FES Units I l Na µa/cm 2 I g Na µa/cm 2 I l K µa/cm 2 I g K µa/cm 2 I p µa/cm 2 Note: This only holds for the closed model.
