  • Competition model for aperiodic stochastic resonance in a Fitzhugh-Nagumo model of cardiac sensory neurons 

    Kember, G. C.; Fenton, G. A.; Armour, J. A.; Kalyaniwalla, N. (American Institute of Physics Inc, 2001)
    A model is presented to access the cause and effect between noisy threshold inputs and the average firing rate generated by neuron. The neural control in the heart in aperiodic stochastic resonance (ASR) was partially ...

  • Control of cardiac function and noise from a decaying power spectrum 

    Kember, G. C.; Armour, J. A.; Fenton, G. A.; Malhotra, A. (American Physical Society, 2004)
    The transduction capability of cardiac affected neurons situated to the heart to control cardiac function was described. It was observed that the through in situ cardiac afferent activity shows evidence of independent and ...

  • Mechanism of smart baroreception in the aortic arch 

    Kember, G. C.; Armour, J. A.; Zamir, M. (American Physical Society, 2006)
    A mechanism is proposed by which the patch of baroreceptors along the inner curvature of the arch of the aorta can sense hemodynamic events occurring downstream from the aortic arch, in the periphery of the arterial tree. ...

  • "Smart" baroreception along the aortic arch, with reference to essential hypertension 

    Kember, G. C.; Zamir, M.; Armour, J. A. (American Physical Society, 2004)
    An arterial model was used to show that the cumulative effects of wave reflections have a surprisingly pronounced effect on the pressure distribution in the root segment of the tree. Global arterial conditions play a role ...
