Mathematical analysis of competition between sensory ganglion cells for neurotrophic factor in the skin

Kohli, R. ; Gabriel, Jean-Pierre ; Clarke, P.G.H.

In: Mathematical Biosciences, 2004, vol. 191, p. 207

A model is presented of competition between sensory axons for trophic molecules (e.g. a neurotrophin such as NGF), produced in a region of skin small enough to permit their free diffusion throughout it; e.g., a touch dome, or a vibrissal follicle hair sinus. The variables specified are the number of high affinity trophic factor receptors per axon terminal and the concentration of trophic factor...
