Hodgkin–Huxley model
Describes how neurons transmit electric signals
Hodgkin–Huxley model
The Hodgkin–Huxley model, or conductance-based model, is a mathematical model that shows why and how action potentials in neurons are initiated and propagated. It is a set of nonlinear differential equations that approximates the electrical engineering characteristics of excitable cells such as neurons and muscle cells. It is a continuous-time dynamical system. Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley described the model in 1952 to explain the ionic mechanisms underlying the initiation and propagation of action potentials in the squid giant axon. They received the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this work.
