An Analog Computer Mechanization of the Hodgkin-Huxley Equations
Abstract
The Hodgkin-Huxley equations describing the action potentials for giant squid axons have been mechanized on the University of Chicago analog computer (Beekman EASE 2132) for the purpose of simulating a variety of experimental situations. The mechanization is described together with the following results: 1) response to constant currents ranging from threshold to saturation, 2) response to a 100 cps sinusoidal current at two amplitudes and two phases, and 3) the effect of removing the potassium current term.
