Modelling and implementation of two coupled Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model

Neurons are the fundamental units that enable information transfer in our body. Neurons communicate through electrical signals called Action Potential. Hodgkin and Huxley proposed a model for generation of action potentials described using a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In this paper, an attempt has been made to simulate the dynamic behavior of the simplest neuronal phenomenon using Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model. We have also presented the dynamics of a system of two coupled neurons with various input current as stimulus. The model is implemented on TMS320C6713 DSP processor to understand the behavior in a real-time environment.
