Solving the Hodgkin - Huxley uncertainties

چکیده
Neuron physiology is actually described using the well known models created by Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) and their derivatives which came later, the Fitzhugh-Nagumo (FN) equations. These attempts to understand the internal functioning of the neuron are unfortunately far from the strict Nature's observation. These equations, particularly, are unable to explain an unidirectional propagation of action potential nor they can explain accommodation or the acceleration seen in axons. These equations are unable to create an action potential without an external application of current.

A new circuit model for the Parameters in equations of low power Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell
In this paper, α and β parameters and gating variables equations of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell have been studied. Gating variables show opening and closing rate of ion flow of calcium and potassium in neuron cell. Variable functions α and β, are exponential functions in terms of u potential that have been obtained by Hodgkin and Huxley experimentally to adjust the equations of neural cells. In ...

متن کاملMemristor Bridge Synapse Application for Integrate and Fire and Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Cell
Memory resistor or memristor is already fabricated successfully using current nano dimension technology. Based on its unique hysteresis, the amount of resistance remains constant over time, controlled by the time, the amplitude, and the polarity of the applied voltage. The unique hysteretic current-voltage characteristic in the memristor causes this element to act as a non-volatile resistive me...
متن کاملEffects 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 comparision of Hodgkin-Huxley and soliton neural theories
Hodgkin and Huxley were the pioneers to abstract biological neuron as an electric circuit and nerve signal as the voltage impulse. The Hodgkin-Huxley theory (Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952) has set the direction and defined the goals for much of the ensuing research in biophysics. However, in 2005, T. Heimburg and A. D. Jackson, biophysicists from Copenhagen proposed a new neural theory called Solito...
