Even today, most biophysical spiking models are based on the H-H equations. What have computational neuroscientists learned from Hodgkin and Huxley? First, they chose the right model system.

Hence, researchers often simulate the brain as a network of coupled neural masses, each described by a mean-field model. These models capture the essential features of neuronal populations while ...

In the late 1940s, Hodgkin, Andrew Huxley and Bernard Katz used this ... His unparalleled analytic powers grew out of formidable mathematical skills, largely self–taught, as well as a remarkable ...
