Digital simulation of the membrane voltages and currents in nerve and muscle fibers

This paper describes digital computer simulations of the membrane voltages and currents in axons and muscle fibers. The simulations, which allow calculations ona nonuniform fiber, are based on the discrete Hodgkin-Huxley and Falk-Fatt equations. An efficient algorithm is used to solve the set of equ...

Summary:This paper describes digital computer simulations of the membrane voltages and currents in axons and muscle fibers. The simulations, which allow calculations ona nonuniform fiber, are based on the discrete Hodgkin-Huxley and Falk-Fatt equations. An efficient algorithm is used to solve the set of equations generated. Calculations are made of the voltage and current at the natural end of a muscle fiber and the results are compared with measurements by other investigators.
