Resumen:
In this talk we present a stochastic model based on endocytosis, exocytosis and lateral diffusion, to study the effects of low number of molecules (high noise intensity), on neuronal polarization. Numerical results were obtained by solving the master equation using Gillespie?s algorithm. Our model suggests that the formation of a single pole of molecular asymmetry is very robust to noise; furthermore, in the presence of noise, neuronal polarization could occur even with reduced feedback strength.
