Description
The Annotated Hodgkin and Huxley A Reader's Guide by Indira M. Raman and David L. Ferster is a comprehensive annotated edition of five revolutionary papers that laid the foundation for modern neuroscience and physiology. First published in 1952, these groundbreaking studies have had a lasting impact on our understanding of how neurons and muscles generate electrical signals. This book provides essential background information on the historical and scientific context surrounding Hodgkin and Huxley's work, including explanations of terminology, equations, and experimental design. The original journal pages are accompanied by detailed notes explaining content, process, and background, with copies of the figures replotted according to modern conventions. Ideal for scientists, teachers, and trainees, this annotated edition makes an essential body of knowledge accessible to a new generation of readers.
