Mathematical Physiology, Lecture 4: Ionic currents and the Hodgkin-Huxley model - 4th year lecture

In the fourth lecture from her 4th year Mathematical Physiology course, Christiana Mavroyiakoumou explains how the cell membrane effectively acts as a capacitor. In this lecture, she uses principles and equations from electrical circuits to build up the Hodgkin–Huxley model.
