edNEGmodel is an implementation of the KNP continuity equations for a one-dimensional system containing six compartments: two representing a neuron, two representing extracellular space, and two representing glia. The model is presented in Sætra et al., PLoS Computational Biology, 17(7), e1008143 (2021): An electrodiffusive neuron-extracellular-glia model for exploring the genesis of slow potentials in the brain.

- Table 1 in Sætra et al. 2021 says that the extracellular cross-section area Ae is 3.08e-11 m2. However, the value used in our simulations is 6.16e-11 m2. Thanks to Eirill Hauge and Letizia Signorelli for making us aware of this error.
