A computational study on the role of glutamate and NMDA receptors on cortical spreading depression using a multidomain electrodiffusion model

Dependence of velocity and duration on NMDAR and NaP during a spiral.
Calculated by finding the average value over the whole domain. The zero sections are regions where the spiral dies off due to a lack of propagation. Beyond the NMDAR level shown in the above graphs, the duration becomes too long preventing the spiral from recurring.
