Mathematical Modelling in Biology: Neuronal Signalling - Oxford Mathematics 2nd Yr Student Lecture

In this lecture Philip Maini presents the groundbreaking, Nobel Prize winning work of Hodgkin and Huxley on the modelling of how neuronal cells generate and propagate electrical signals, which are vital for communication between different parts of our body. We analyse a simplified version of this model (Fitzhugh-Nagumo) and, using phase plane analysis and slow and fast timescales, we show how this model exhibits the action potentials observed in neurons.

All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor in pairs to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.

My skull cracked open. This is the definition of a real comprehensive lecture in the making.
