Hodgkin-Huxley-like Model Neuron

Demo simulator of a firing biological neuron.

An interactive MATLAB-based demo simulation of the electrophysiological behavior of a biological neuron is presented and documented. The differential equations which describe the temporal evolution of the membrane voltage in a biophysical model neuron, are introduced and briefly discussed in the documentation, together with the default numerical parameters employed in the demo. Several references and fundamental pointers to the literature are provided, with the aim of pointing interested users to further readings.
This project was developed for a multi-media presentation given for an invited talk, and in the present public release it is intended as a tool for educational purposes. Since the relevant source codes are included and fully commented, this software might also be conveniently employed as a development example for exploring the many advantages of MATLAB data visualization, graphical user interfaces (GUI) and MEX interfaces.
