(a) Schematic of the designed cortical model with a volume of 400 µm × 400 µm × 850 µm. (b) An illustration of cortical model (layer I) used in simulation. (c) and (d) The geometry of a nerve cell and macroglial cell. The major and minor radii of the two types of nucleus are 2 µm (2.5 µm) and 1.5 µm (2 µm), respectively. The major and minor radii of nucleus of macroglia (microglia) are 1.5 µm (0.6 µm) and 1.2 µm (0.4 µm), respectively.
