Abstract : Brain is a major organ for processing thought, feelings, learning and memory. Neurons being the basic building unit of the brain, mathematical modeling of a neuron can give a great insight into the functioning of the central nervous system. This paper describes the most biologically realistic neuron model and its implementation in Simulink to understand the behavior of a neuron in a real-time environment. Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model is the first successful mathematical model which describes the initiation and propagation of action potentials in neurons. The dynamic behavior of a single HH neuron is examined for varying external stimulus and studied to help develop an interactive biological neural network by coupling a large number of neurons in the future.
