60 Years of Hodgkin and HuxleyTrinity College, Cambridge, UK, July 12 - 13, 2012In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the publication of the Hodgkin-Huxley model of the action potential.
This congress is being organized to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the original publication of the Hodgkin and Huxley model of the generation of the action potential by the squid giant axon. This publication and the mathematical model it describes is at the core of our modern understanding of how the action potential is generated, and has had profound effects on many fields of biological science and in particular on computational studies of neuronal function. The congress will be held at Trinity College, Cambridge which is the home academic institution for the original research. Registration has been closed More info and speakers The meeting runs from 9 am to 6:30 pm. There will be an open poster session on July 12th for any participants who would like to present their work, starting at 6:30 pm and followed by the conference banquet.
