Hodgkin and the action potential 1935-1952.
نویسنده
چکیده
It is naturally very gratifying that the Editors of The Journal of Physiology have decided to make available online a paper that Alan Hodgkin and I published 50 years ago (Hodgkin & Huxley, 1952). This was the final paper in the series on the voltage clamp experiments by us and Bernard Katz. In this note, I will set out the background against which this work was done.

Effects of ionic parameters on behavior of a skeletal muscle fiber model
All living cells have a membrane which separates inside the cell from it's outside. There is a potential difference between inside and outside of the cell. This potential difference will change during an action potential. It is quite common to peruse action potentials of skeletal muscle fibers with the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Since Hodgkin and Huxley summarized some controlling currents like inwa...
متن کاملA new reduced mathematical model to simulate the action potential in end plate of skeletal muscle fibers
Usually mathematicians use Hodgkin-Huxley model or FitzHug-Nagumo model to simulate action potentials of skeletal muscle fibers. These models are electrically excitable, but skeletal muscle fibers are stimulated chemically. To investigate skeletal muscle fibers we use a model with six ordinary differential equations. This dynamical system is sensitive to initial value of some variables so it is...
متن کاملIs there any geometrical information in the nervous system?
There has been an increasing interest in analyzing neurophysiology from complex and chaotic systems viewpoint in recent years. For example, although the famous Hodgkin and Huxley model (Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952) has been the basis of almost all of the proposed models for neural firing, the Rose-Hindmarsh model (Hindmarsh and Rose, 1984) is known to be a more refined model because as it has the ...
متن کاملModeling and Network Organization
The use of mathematical modeling and analysis of networks has a long history in biological research. Perhaps the best-known early example of insightful modeling is the work of Hodgkin and Huxley in 1952 describing how sodium and potassium ion channels could function together to produce the membrane action potential in neurons (Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952). For several decades, models and theory we...
متن کاملFrom overshoot to voltage clamp
when we were both living in Trinity College, Cambridge. He finished as an undergraduate in 1935 and was a research scholar and, from 1936, a Junior Research Fellow; I came up as an undergraduate in 1935. In the summer of 1939, he went to the marine laboratory at Plymouth to do experiments on the giant nerve fibres of squid. He invited me to join him, which I did at the beginning of August; we l...
