what is the importance of thermodynamics in astrocytic network especially the gap junction coupling between astrocyes, once the coupling strength is measured, then the possibility of the ions or molecules to diffuse into other cell will follow the diffusion equilibrium concept... Is my thinking logic? Or I have to find better behaviour strategy?
Contact Prof. Dr.Chris de Zeeuw, Brain research Institute Amsterdam and Anatomy Rotterdam. He worked on gap-junctions.

Not clear from your description if your model is electrical or thermodynamic. If the latter then there is some merit to what you are saying albeit not so clearly.
