Unravelling Neuronal Signaling: The Pioneering Work of Hodgkin and Huxley on Squid Giant Axon
In 1952, British physiologists Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley conducted groundbreaking research on the electrical properties of neurons by simulating their model of the squid giant axon. This work laid the foundation for understanding how action potentials, or electrical impulses, are generated and propagated along nerve cells. The squid giant...
