Abstract

The Hodgkin and Huxley papers continue to inspire and intimidate, 70 years after their publication. The diverse subjects they cover include advanced experimental procedures, complex data analysis, calculus, and modeling, all of which ensure the papers can present a challenging read. We present a concise guide to the papers that includes only essential content depicted in color-coded graphs, allowing tracking of data from recordings to analysis and incorporation into the model to ease understanding.
