Abstract

The membrane current in the Hodgkin-Huxley equations is considered to be a stimulus to the membrane and the responses to the simulus are numerically calculated. Responses of the Hodgkin-Huxley model to an alternating current superimposed upon a constant bias current show qualitative analogy to responses of biological mechanoreceptors. The intensity of the bias current seems to correspond to the degree of adaptation of actual receptors.
