Even today, most biophysical spiking models are based on the H-H equations. What have computational neuroscientists learned from Hodgkin and Huxley? First, they chose the right model system.

Given, for example, the Hodgkin-Huxley equations' long-standing success in describing action potentials, this argument would require addressing how the new mechanism accounts for the observations ...

Huxley and Hodgkin’s data and equations showed that electricity itself opens and closes gates controlling the flow of charged ions across the nerve cell’s membrane, and when gates are open for ...

Mathematical models like the Hodgkin-Huxley equations describe these processes with remarkable precision. Just as the digitization of sound revolutionized our understanding of music, mathematical ...

The idea that information travels through neurons like electrical signals through a circuit is known as the Hodgkin-Huxley model. This was awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in Medicine and created a strong ...

Working with fellow Nobel laureate Sir Alan Hodgkin, Huxley solved a puzzle that had perplexed biologists for decades: how nerves generate the electrical impulses that control muscle activities ...
