Modeling neurotransmitter binding to receptors in the brain.

A non-deterministic model based on the assumption that the binding of a neurotransmitter to its receptor is a Markov process is developed. This model is capable of describing the kinetic processes that occur when a neurotransmitter binds to its receptor in the normal unpathological condition and in...
