Neurofrontiers<p>A few weeks ago, I shared a differential equations tutorial for beginners, written from the perspective of a neuroscientist who's had to grapple with the computational part. Following up on that, I've now tackled the first real beast encountered by most computational neuroscience students: the Hodgkin-Huxley model. </p><p>While remaining incredibly elegant to this day, this model is also a mathematically dense system of equations that can overwhelm and discourage beginners, especially those with non-mathematical backgrounds. Similar to the first tutorial, I've tried to build intuition step-by-step, starting with a simple RC circuit, layering in Na⁺ and K⁺ channels, and ending with the full spike-generation story. </p><p>Feedback is welcome, especially from fellow non-math converts.<br><a href="https://neurofrontiers.blog/building-a-virtual-neuron-2/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">neurofrontiers.blog/building-a</span><span class="invisible">-virtual-neuron-2/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ComputationalNeuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputationalNeuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/hodgkinHuxleyModel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hodgkinHuxleyModel</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/biophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biophysics</span></a> </p><p>From: <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://neuromatch.social/@neurofrontiers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>neurofrontiers</span></a></span><br><a href="https://neuromatch.social/@neurofrontiers/114150087773204813" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">neuromatch.social/@neurofronti</span><span class="invisible">ers/114150087773204813</span></a></p>
