Hodgkin-Huxley model, currents measured

The voltage v in the Hodgkin-Huxley model is the membrane potential measured relative to the equilibrium voltage Veq v = AT — Veq, where Veq is the potential when no current is applied. The experimentally determined equilibrium potentials (which depend on the ion gradients across the membrane) for the model are... 

The psychologist Maslow wrote that if the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything as if it were a nail (4). Markov processes based on the Hodgkin-Huxley model had been widely used to describe ionic currents measured in many different experiments. However, in 1986, we began to use a new tool to analyze the patch clamp data. The insight gained from this new analysis has changed our ideas about the processes that open and close the ion channel. The new tool is based on fractals.
