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 ...

What have computational neuroscientists learned from Hodgkin and Huxley? First, they chose the right model system. The squid axon offered technical advantages due to its size and relative ...

At the end of the appendages it is transmitted to other cells. In 1952, Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Fielding Huxley described in a mathematical model how such an action potential originates on the ...

Heimburg's contention is described as being that the Hodgkin-Huxley model is simply wrong. It is astonishing that he would not accept a compromise between the two models. Given, for example ...

Huxley and Hodgkin approached the problem by studying ... the electrical potentials that should be obtained if their model was correct. The calculated values were very close to those that were ...

The so-called Hodgkin-Huxley model laid the foundations for all subsequent research into the functioning of animal nervous systems. Andrew Fielding Huxley was born in Hampstead, north London ...

Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley were awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which they shared with John Eccles, for their work on nerve action potentials. In this interview with ...
