KnowraHodgkin–Huxley modelLinked fromLinked fromThe 12 pages that link to Hodgkin–Huxley model, each with the reason it gives.All 12Broader topic 5Related 6Compared with 1Action potentialRelated: Its equations explain the spike through changing sodium and potassium conductances.NeuroscienceRelated: It showed how quantitative experiments could explain neural electrical signaling.ElectrophysiologyRelated: It connected measured nerve currents to a quantitative account of signal generation.TetrodotoxinRelated: Experiments using tetrodotoxin helped separate sodium current from other currents underlying the model.Limit cycleRelated: Under suitable conditions, its repetitive firing can arise through a limit-cycle oscillation.Andrew HuxleyBroader topic: Huxley and Alan Hodgkin built this quantitative account from their squid-axon experiments.Computational neuroscienceBroader topic: It models how membrane mechanisms generate the electrical signals used in neural computation.Alan HodgkinBroader topic: Hodgkin and Huxley converted their axon measurements into this quantitative account.Herbert Spencer GasserCompared with: It explains ionic mechanisms beyond the fiber-level conduction patterns Gasser measured.History of neuroscienceBroader topic: It made the electrical basis of nerve impulses quantitatively testable.NeurophysicsBroader topic: It models neural firing from membrane currents and ion-channel dynamics.Refractory period (neurophysiology)Related: Its channel dynamics reproduce the ionic recovery that produces refractory phases.
