Abstract
For the past seven decades, the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) formalism has been an invaluable tool in the arsenal of neuroscientists, allowing for robust and reproducible modelling of ionic conductances and the electrophysiological phenomena they underlie. Despite its apparent age, its role as a cornerstone of computational neuroscience has not waned. The discovery of dendritic regenerative events mediated by ionic and synaptic conductances has solidified the importance of HH-based models further, yielding new predictions concerning dendritic integration, synaptic plasticity and neuronal computation. These predictions are often validated through in vivo and in vitro experiments, advancing our understanding of the neuron as a biological system and emphasizing the importance of HH-based detailed computational models as an instrument of dendritic research. In this article, we discuss recent studies in which the HH formalism is used to shed new light on dendritic function and its role in neuronal phenomena.
