機械刺激に対するゾウリムシの膜電位変化のモデル化

抄録

This paper proposes a new model of the membrane potential change of Paramecium for environmental stimuli. The proposed model calculates not only the membrane potential based on the Hodgkin-Huxley equation, but also the internal Ca²⁺ concentration in cilia that cannot be measured with the actual organism. This will be helpful to reproduce the behavior of Paramecium based on the mechanism of the actual organism. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed computer model can reproduce the characteristics of the actual organism.
