Local propagation in a simulated ventricular cell aggregates

A recurrent SpatioTEmporal neuron (rSTEN) is a mathematical model which simulates the properties of a ventricular cell aggregate. A 20 layer hexagonal network of rSTEN was constructed. It was found that the propagation patterns in the network were dependent on the properties of rSTEN such as the synaptic efficacy and the length of the refractory period rather than the interstimulus interval of the input itself.
