Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron

Full 4-variable ODE model of the action potential

V (mV) m (Na act) h (Na inact) n (K act)
Hodgkin-Huxley (1952 Nobel): C_m dV/dt = I - g_Na·m³h·(V-E_Na) - g_K·n⁴·(V-E_K) - g_L·(V-E_L). Gating variables follow dx/dt = α_x(V)(1-x) - β_x(V)x. Action potentials fire when I_inj exceeds threshold ~7 μA/cm².
