Critics Review
“I had never read the Hodgkin–Huxley papers until this book came my way. I am grateful that it did.”—Brian Hayes, American Scientist
“
With this guide, Raman and Ferster have not only provided lecturers with the opportunity to include
a review of the original Hodgkin–Huxley papers in their courses as a rare learning experience, but also have made accessible these historical documents to any interested neuroscientist of the post-Hodgkin–Huxley generations who otherwise would probably never haven taken—and enjoyed!—the intellectual ride of reading them. For this great service, the authors deserve our applause.
