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 ...

S. Cole, who introduced him to the voltage–clamp method. In the late 1940s, Hodgkin, Andrew Huxley and Bernard Katz used this method in a brilliant series of experiments that elucidated the ...

(This concept and velocity equation came from the historic study of action potentials in the squid giant axon by Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley in the 1940s-50s, partly at MBL.) However ...
