Abstract
This paper presents a rigorous and comprehensive nonlinear circuit-theoretic foundation for the memristive Hodgkin-Huxley Axon Circuit model. We show that the Hodgkin-Huxley Axon comprises a potassium ion-channel memristor and a sodium ion-channel memristor, along with some mundane circuit elements. From this new perspective, many hitherto unresolved anomalous phenomena and paradoxes reported in the literature are explained and clarified. The yet unknown nonlinear dynamical mechanisms which give birth to the action potentials remain hidden within the memristors, and the race is on for uncovering the ultimate truth.

| Additional information: | <01> In their Nobel Prize-winning (1963) work, Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley performed experiments on the squid giant axon. The large diameter of the axon provided a great experimental advantage for Hodgkin and Huxley as it allowed them to insert voltage clamp electrodes inside the lumen of the axon. This paper reveals that the Hodgkin–Huxley Axon comprises memristors (invented by Chua in 1971). From this new perspective, this model can explain various anomalous phenomena and paradoxes reported over the past 70 years.; number of additional authors: 2; |
