Characteristics ofExcitable Media
• Local spread of excitation– for signal propagation
• Refractory period– for unidirectional propagation
• Decay of signal– avoid saturation of medium

Circular & Spiral Waves Observed in:
• Slime mold aggregation
• Chemical systems (e.g., BZ reaction)
• Neural tissue
• Retina of the eye
• Heart muscle
• Intracellular calcium flows
• Mitochondrial activity in oocytes

04/18/23 11
Cause ofConcentric Circular Waves
• Excitability is not enough
• But at certain developmental stages, cells can operate as pacemakers
• When stimulated by cAMP, they begin emitting regular pulses of cAMP
![Page 12: 5/20/20151 D. Excitable Media. 5/20/20152 Examples of Excitable Media Slime mold amoebas Cardiac tissue (& other muscle tissue) Cortical tissue Certain](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d0c5503460f949e045e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Spiral Waves• Persistence & propagation of spiral waves
explained analytically (Tyson & Murray, 1989)
• Rotate around a small core of of non-excitable cells
• Propagate at higher frequency than circular• Therefore they dominate circular in
collisions• But how do the spirals form initially?

04/18/23 13
Some Explanationsof Spiral Formation
• “the origin of spiral waves remains obscure” (1997)
• Traveling wave meets obstacle and is broken
• Desynchronization of cells in their developmental path
• Random pulse behind advancing wave front

• Amoebas are immobile at timescale of wave movement
• A fraction of patches are inert (grey)• A fraction of patches has initial
concentration of cAMP• At each time step:
– chemical diffuses– each patch responds to local concentration

Observations• Excitable media can support circular and spiral
waves• Spiral formation can be triggered in a variety of
ways• All seem to involve inhomogeneities (broken
symmetries):– in space– in time– in activity
• Amplification of random fluctuations• Circles & spirals are to be expected
