Abstract
An analytical method for simulating the dynamic behavior of an active nerve pulse propagating on a circular cylindrical fiber in an infinite volume conductor is described. The membrane behavior is modeled by the Hodgkin-Huxley equations, while the current entering or leaving the membrane is determined from three-dimensional field theory. Primarily, there have been the following two approaches to investigate the nerve pulse.
