On Hodgkin and Huxley's theory of excitable membranes
Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 3 (2):193-208 (1982)
| Abstract | Using Sneed''s metatheory an attempt is made to reconstruct Hodgkin and Huxley''s theory of excitation of cell membranes. The structure of this theory is uncovered by defining set-theoretical predicates for the partial potential models, potential models, and models of the theory. The function of permeability is said to be the only theoretical function with respect to this theory. The main underlying assumptions of the theory are briefly outlined. | |||||||||
