Neural transmitters can generally exist in several states: stored, released, in combination with receptors, and recycling to storage. A set of equations is proposed and analyzed for such a system. We have considered boundedness and stability of solutions, and we have discussed physiological effects

β¦ Synopsis
A model for transmitter kinetics has been simulated by computer for a variety of inputs and it is shown how the parameters of the system determine its properties, such as phasic or tonic behavior, sensitivity and responsiveness. The results are discussed in relation to transmitter release and transmitter-receptor interactions.

We introduce a "Kawasaki-type" spin-exchange dynamics for Widom's model of microemulsions, where the numbers of the molecules of oil, water and surfactants are conserved. We investigate the relaxation of concentration fluctuations in two dimensions, using this dynamics, and find diffusion for small-
