Master Defense by Dana T. Kamp

Title: Numerical solutions to the self-contained soliton model – and the potential connection between the soliton theory and lithium treatment in bipolar disorder.

I will give a short introduction to the soliton theory of nerve signalling and thermodynamics of lipid membranes before presenting my own numerical work on the self-contained soliton model. I will then build the case that the medical effect of lithium ions might be related to membrane thermodynamics.
