Nagumo's equation

Nagumo's equation is a mathematical model used to describe how electrical signals, like nerve impulses, propagate along nerve fibers. It captures the balance between the electrical charge inside and outside nerve cells and how this balance changes over time, leading to an action potential—the nerve signal. The equation helps scientists understand how signals travel quickly and reliably in nerves, and it is fundamental in studying neural behavior, heart rhythms, and related phenomena. Essentially, it provides a detailed way to predict when and how nerve cells will fire in response to stimuli.
