A comparision of Hodgkin-Huxley and soliton neural theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hodgkin and Huxley were the pioneers to abstract biological neuron as an electric circuit and nerve signal as the voltage impulse. The Hodgkin-Huxley theory (Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952) has set the direction and defined the goals for much of the ensuing research in biophysics. However, in 2005, T. Heimburg and A. D. Jackson, biophysicists from Copenhagen proposed a new neural theory called Soliton theory (Heimburg and Jackson, 2005). In this theory, the nerve conduction is proposed as a density wave. In this paper, Hodgkin-Huxley and Soliton theories are described and a theoretical comparison has been carried out throughout the analysis of the theories and models.

A new circuit model for the Parameters in equations of low power Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell
In this paper, α and β parameters and gating variables equations of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell have been studied. Gating variables show opening and closing rate of ion flow of calcium and potassium in neuron cell. Variable functions α and β, are exponential functions in terms of u potential that have been obtained by Hodgkin and Huxley experimentally to adjust the equations of neural cells. In ...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Hodgkin–Huxley Model and the Soliton Theory for the Action Potential in Nerves
We describe the origin and significance of electrical and mechanical observations on nerves. To this end, we compare two models for neural activity, which are the established Hodgkin–Huxley model and the more recent soliton theory, respectively. While the Hodgkin–Huxley model focuses particularly on the electrical aspects of the neural membranes, the soliton model is based on hydrodynamic and t...
متن کاملMemristor Bridge Synapse Application for Integrate and Fire and Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Cell
Memory resistor or memristor is already fabricated successfully using current nano dimension technology. Based on its unique hysteresis, the amount of resistance remains constant over time, controlled by the time, the amplitude, and the polarity of the applied voltage. The unique hysteretic current-voltage characteristic in the memristor causes this element to act as a non-volatile resistive me...
متن کاملLiquid state machine built of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons and pattern recognition
Neural networks built of Hodgkin–Huxley neurons were examined. These structures behaved like Liquid State Machines (LSM). They could effectively process different input signals (i.e., Morse alphabet) into precisely defined output. It is also shown that there is a possibility of logical gates creation with use of Hodgkin–Huxley neurons and simple LSMs.
متن کاملThe Correlation between Critical Anaesthetic Dose and Melting Temperatures in Synthetic Membranes
The anaesthetic potency of a substance is closely related to its lipophilicty. This has been interpreted as evidence for a lipid mechanism of action for anaesthesia. However, with the success of the conductance based Hodgkin-Huxley model for the nerve impulse, the scientific community shifted to considering protein ion-channels the cellular target for anaesthetics. Today, the lipid hypothesis h...
