The main subject of this research is the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The NMJ is a biological structure composed of the interface between a neuron and a muscle cell. Currently, there is not a fully three dimensional model of diffusion-reaction processes occurring in the NMJ. Developing a useful predictive model of this structure will assist in the therapeutic efforts to restore and rehabilitate NMJ function to humans and in developing strategies to prevent damage to the NMJ. This research work developed 1D mass transport and full 3D reaction diffusion models. A new finite difference scheme is presented for solving 1D mass …
