Main article Autowave reverberator Spiral waves are travelling waves that rotate outward from a center in a spiral They are a feature of many excitable media Spiral waves have been observed in various biological systems 1 2 including systems such as heart ventricular fibrillation 3 retinal spreading depression 4 Xenopus oocyte calcium waves 5 and glial calcium waves in cortical tissue culture 6 source source source source source source source Spiral Wave Dynamics in a Mathematical Model of Human Ventricular TissueReferences edit Winfree AT 2001 The Geometry of Biological Time New York Springer Verlag Murray JD 2003 Mathematical Biology II Spatial models and biomedical applications New York Springer Verlag Davidenko JM Pertsov AV Salomonsz R Baxter W Jalife J 1992 Stationary and drifting spiral waves of excitation in isolated cardiac muscle Nature 355 349 351 doi 10 1038 355349a0 PMID 1731248 Gorelova NA Bures J 1983 Spiral waves of spreading depression in the isolated chicken retina J Neurobiol 14 353 363 doi 10 1002 neu 480140503 PMID 6619832 Lechleiter J Girard S Peralta E Clapham D 1991 Spiral calcium wave propagation and annihilation in Xenopus laevis oocytes Science 252 123 126 doi 10 1126 science 2011747 PMID 2011747 Verkhratsky A Orkand RK Kettenmann H 1998 Glial calcium homeostasis and signaling function Physiol Rev 78 99 141 doi 10 1152 physrev 1998 78 1 99 PMID 9457170 nbsp This chaos theory related article is a stub You can help Wikipedia by expanding it vte Retrieved from https en wikipedia org w index php title Spiral wave amp oldid 1099204750, wikipedia, wiki, book, books, library,
