  • Abstract
    This paper presents a model to simulate the activity of excitable membrane displaying Hodgkin and Huxley (H-H)-type kinetics implemented using the general-purpose circuit analysis program PSPICE. The H-H equations are represented by electrical equivalent circuit elements and the model is validated by comparison with published theoretical and measured data. The model is very easy to use and can be inserted as a sub-circuit into PSPICE simulations of more complex neural systems
