Electrical stimulation is used to enhance neuron growth, and the role of neuronal intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) is an area of research interest. Widely varying stimulation parameters in the literature make it difficult to compare stimulation protocols. The results in this manuscript are the first to show neuronal [Ca 2+ ] i in response to a broad and defined range of electrical pulse durations and intensities. These results validate our previously published novel computational model of [Ca 2+ ] i .
