Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Fielding Huxley experimentally measured the opening and closing of Na+ and K+ channels during action potentials in the squid giant axon, and succeeded in representing their nonlinear dynamics mathematically, including differential equations. These are called the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. They successfully demonstrated the generation and propagation of action potentials in nerve axons using a relatively small number of parameters. They remain highly regarded for representing channel opening and closing characteristics quite accurately with relatively few parameters. The Hodgkin-Huxley equations (or Hodgkin-Huxley model), and similar models, are used in the simulations of potentials in excitable cells (neurons, cardiac muscle cells, skeletal muscles, etc.) widely performed today.
