论文摘要
在过去的十五年中,关于著名的霍奇金·赫克斯利(Hodgkin-Huxley)模型的神经冲动的有效性引起了辩论。已经提出了机械模型。本说明回顾了神经冲动的实验特性,并讨论了所提出的替代方案。实验数据排除了一些替代建议,它表明,尽管霍奇金 - 赫克斯利模型可能不完整,但它包含了基本功能,这些特征在改进或取代的尝试中不应忽略。
In the last fifteen years a debate emerged about the validity of the famous Hodgkin-Huxley model for nerve impulse. Mechanical models have been proposed. This note reviews the experimental properties of the nerve impulse and discusses the proposed alternatives. The experimental data, which rule out some of the alternative suggestions, show that, while the Hodgkin-Huxley model may not be complete, it nevertheless includes essential features that should not be overlooked in the attempts made to improve, or supersede, it.
