Biological Basis of the Calcium Ion Accumulation Model

The provided code is a computational model designed to simulate the dynamics of intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) accumulation and diffusion within a neuron. Calcium ions play a crucial role in neuronal function, including neurotransmitter release, gene expression regulation, and synaptic plasticity. The model captures key aspects of calcium dynamics that occur within a segment of a neuron, accounting for both longitudinal and radial diffusion.
