Talk:Hodgkin–Huxley model

message: I added a link to the FitzHugh-Nagumo model,
this article does not exist yet in the English wikipedia.
A German article is available at

thread_title: Link to FitzHugh-Nagumo model

message: This article has a few things that are not clearly explained and a few mistakes.  I'm pretty sure the role of the Na+/K+ transporter was not modeled by H and H as a current.  Basically, it was only reflected in the reversal potentials of the different conductances.  Also, this article should explicitly mention what the main conductances were, etc.  I'll make some changes when I get a chance, but I wanted to notify first.

thread_title: a few problems with this article

message: I'm new to serious edits of important wikipedia pages, but I am a 10+ year expert on dynamical systems theory and mathematical models in physiology, especially Hodgkin-Huxley. As it stands, the math analysis section is too brief while attempting to get into too much sophistication for it to be valuable (or correct). There are some factual errors, or at least accidentally misleading implications due to being too brief, especially in the attempt to describe the Center Manifold analysis. That is an extremely advanced mathematical topic and needs a delicate treatment to be helpful. It is also missing any citations. I don't think Center Manifolds are sufficiently relevant or accessible to the existing and popular treatments of the H-H model in the literature to be appropriate for either a general audience or even a typical student of computational modeling. I'd like to suggest it is reduced to a sentence about how Center Manifold theory can be used to study the bifurcation from silence to spiking, including characterization of the limit cycle that is created; then a citation to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_manifold. However, I can't think of a highly recognized peer-reviewed journal article or book specifically about the center manifold analysis of this particular model. I'm not sure it is as clean-cut as the author of that section suggests, and the mathematical mistakes suggest the section's author is not really an expert either. If and when this topic shows up in Scholarpedia I suggest we just link to that for more technical details. Thoughts? If no-one comments then I'll make an edit soon, myself. --Robclewley (talk) 02:18, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to mention the fact that the total current equation is wrong. I think whoever wrote this got confused by trying to match the model to the schematic, which features another current, the pump current I_p, but which lack the injected current. I am not going to argue endlessly with electrophysiologists who do not understand differential equations - anyone who can do maths and wants the correct eqns can look it up in Keener and Sneyd or Weiss. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:FCA0:D487:955A:F4D8 (talk) 14:42, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problems with the mathematical analysis section 

message: I explicitly wrote out what \alpha and /beta are, and added a reference for the general form. If someone could double-check that the voltage conventions I used are right, since it wasn't clear to me what the conventions being used in this article are. This may be due to my lack of experience, but we may want to edit basic components to make this clearer to someone trying to understand this material for the first time Differintegral (talk 19:05, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
