Modeling neuron growth using isogeometric collocation based phase field method

Abstract We present a new computational framework of neuron growth based on the phase field method and develop an open-source software package called “NeuronGrowth_IGAcollocation”. Neurons consist of a cell body, dendrites, and axons. Axons and dendrites are long processes extending from the cell bo...
