A numerically stable model for simulating high frequency conduction block in nerve fiber

Previous studies performed on myelinated nerve fibers have shown that a high frequency alternating current stimulus can block impulse conduction. The current threshold at which block occurs increases as the blocking frequency increases. Cable models based on the Hodgkin-Huxley model are consistent...
