A parallel RLC circuit can be used to fit the stimulus artifacts in the EMG recording of cortical and pelvic electrical nerve stimulations. This parallel RLC circuit model also predicts the resonance effect in both stimulus artifacts and EMG signals, which was validated by the experimental data. Moreover, the well-known strength-duration relationship can be directly derived, and even amended to a more precise format with this parallel RLC circuit model. Then a comprehensive theoretical explanation is provided, showing that this inductance is generated by the coil structure of the myelin sheath and the piezoelectric effect of the plasma membrane.One Sentence Summary The inductance in the neural systems is generated by the coil structure of the myelin sheath and the piezoelectric effect of the plasma membrane.
