Abstract :
The validity of the generalized transmission-line and cable equation models for myelinated nerve fiber, is verified herein through rigorous Green´s function formulation for transmembrane potential induced in a 3D myelinated cylindrical cell. It is shown that the dominant pole contribution of the exact modal expansion is the transmembrane potential solution of our generalized model.
