Zusammenfassung:Free Calcium ions in the cytosol are essential for many physiological and physical functions. The free calcium ions are commonly regarded as a second messenger, are an essential part of brain communication. Numerous physiological activities, such as calcium buffering and calcium ion channel flow, etc. influence the cytosolic calcium concentration. In light of the above, the primary goal of this study is to develop a model of calcium distribution in neuron cells when a Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel and Sodium Calcium Exchanger are present. As we know, decreased buffer levels and increased calcium activity in the Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel and Sodium Calcium Exchanger lead to Alzheimer’s disease. Due to these changes, the calcium diffusion in that location becomes disrupted and impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. The model has been constructed by considering key factors like buffers and ER fluxes when Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels and Sodium Calcium Exchangers are present. Based on the physiological conditions of the parameters, appropriate boundary conditions have been constructed in the fuzzy environment. This model is considered a fuzzy boundary value problem with the source term and initial boundary conditions are modeled by triangular fuzzy functions. In this, paper we observed the approximate solution of the mathematical model which was investigated by the fuzzy undetermined coefficient method. The solution has been performed through MATLAB and numerical results have been computed using simulation. The observation made that the proper operation of the Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel and Sodium Calcium Exchanger is critical for maintaining the delicate equilibrium of calcium ions, which regulates vital cellular activities. Dysregulation of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel and Sodium Calcium Exchanger activity has been linked to neurodegenerative illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease.
