Question: Using 0.01 ms for the time step, implement the Hodgkin-Huxley equations in MATLAB. Use the parameter values given and apply a current pulse of amplitude
Using 0.01 ms for the time step, implement the Hodgkin-Huxley equations in MATLAB. Use the parameter values given and apply a current pulse of amplitude Im =30 A/cm2 for a duration of 0.5 ms.
The HH parameters and initial values for the squid giant axon are given as follows:


1) Plot the action potential generated in response to the current pulse.
2) Plot the gating variables n, m and h as a function of time during an action potential.
