They received the 1963 Nobel Prize -in Physiology or Medicine for this work. - -## Mathematical properties - -The Hodgkin–Huxley model can be thought of as a differential equation with four -state variables, v(t), m(t), n(t), and h(t), that change with respect to time -t. The system is difficult to study because it is a nonlinear system and cannot -be solved analytically. However, there are many numeric methods available to -analyze the system. Certain properties and general behaviors, such as limit -cycles, can be proven to exist. - -## Alternative Models - -The Hodgkin–Huxley model is regarded as one of the great achievements of 20th-century biophysics. Nevertheless, modern Hodgkin–Huxley-type models have been extended in several important ways: - -* Additional ion channel populations have been incorporated based on experimental data. - -* The Hodgkin–Huxley model has been modified to incorporate transition state - theory and produce thermodynamic Hodgkin–Huxley models. - -* Models often incorporate highly complex geometries of dendrites and axons, - often based on microscopy data. - -* Stochastic models of ion-channel behavior, leading to stochastic hybrid - systems - -Several simplified neuronal models have also been developed (such as the -FitzHugh–Nagumo model), facilitating efficient large-scale simulation of groups -of neurons, as well as mathematical insight into dynamics of action potential -generation. - - -## References - -The body of this page is from Wikipedia (see below). - -#### Papers - -"The dual effect of membrane potential on sodium conductance in the giant axon -of Loligo". *The Journal of Physiology*. **116** (4): 497–506.
