Hodgkin-Huxley model

The Hodgkin-Huxley model is a scientific framework that describes how nerve cells (neurons) generate electrical signals. It explains how ions like sodium and potassium move across the nerve cell membrane through special channels, causing changes in voltage that create nerve impulses or "action potentials." These processes enable signals to travel rapidly along nerves, allowing communication within the body. The model uses mathematical equations to represent how the ion channels open and close in response to voltage changes, providing a detailed understanding of nerve signaling at the cellular level.
