Hodgkin–Huxley model

The Hodgkin–Huxley model is a mathematical description of the electrical characteristics of excitable cells, particularly neurons. Developed in 1952 by Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley, this model provides a detailed mechanism for understanding how action potentials (the rapid depolarization and repolarization of the neuronal membrane) are generated and propagated. ### Key Components of the Hodgkin–Huxley Model 1.
