Behavioral study of linear model i.e. Integrate and fire model is compared with non-linear model i.e. Hodgkin-Huxley model. Both the models output are affected by Poisson inputs that are correlated positively. Responses of Integrate and fire model and Hodgkin-Huxley models differ in terms of correlated inputs. Linear Integrate and fire model is better for correlated inputs. Non-Linear model dis...

Hodgkin and Huxley’s model of the action potential is an apparent dream case of covering-law explanation in biology. The model includes laws of physics and chemistry that, coupled with details about antecedent and background conditions, can be used to derive features of the action potential. Hodgkin and Huxley insist that their model is not an explanation. This suggests either that subsuming a ...

In nineteenth century Great Britain, Thomas Henry Huxley [3] proposed connections between the development of organisms and their evolutionary histories, critiqued previously held concepts of homology, and promoted Charles Darwin?s theory of evolution [4]. Many called him Darwin?s Bulldog. Huxley helped professionalize and redefine British science. He wrote about philosophy, religion, and social...

The Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to solve the Burgers-Huxley non-linear differential equations. Three case study problems of Burgers-Huxley are solved using the HPM and the exact solutions are obtained. The rapid convergence towards the exact solutions of HPM is numerically shown. Results show that the HPM is efficient method with acceptable accuracy to solve the Burgers-Huxley eq...

The generation and the propagation of electrical signals in the basic unit of nervous system “neuron” has been a topic of interest to physiologists and researchers for centuries. In this effort of trying to map the functions of the brain the work of Hodgkin and Huxley has been a remarkable legacy. 60 years have passed since they have published their paper, still it continues to inspire research...
