Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Simulator

Computational model of squid axon — membrane potential and ionic currents from the 1952 equations

Soma Axon I_inj hillock

Membrane Potential (mV)

Total Membrane Current (µA/cm²)

Ion Concentrations & Nernst

+70 mV
-90 mV

Conductances

mS/cm²
mS/cm²
mS/cm²
µF/cm²

Stimulus (Current Clamp)

µA/cm²

Learn: Passive vs Active

Passive: subthreshold current → small depolarization that decays. Active: suprathreshold → all-or-none action potential.
