Hodgkin-Huxley Model: Voltage & Current Threshold Estimation

[Mdhiggenz]

Homework Statement

Hello everyone,

I am starting my homework and I have to create a simulation using MATLAB and before I begin I want to clarify a few questions.

Part A) wants me to estimate the voltage threshold for excitation.

The way I interpret this is to find the smallest value when the action potential is reached.

Part B wants me to do the same thing but for the current.

What do you guys think?

Yes. The HH model does not have a true theshold, so various thresholds are useful approximations under certain circumstances. When you give your answer, if you can, state under what conditions your estimate might be useful.
