Abstract

Keywords: alan Hodgkin; central Dogma; descartes; hodgkin Cycle; spinoza EN alan Hodgkin central Dogma descartes hodgkin Cycle spinoza 1313 1314 2 04/04/23 20230401 NES 230401 Reading the three letters of Earm & Lee ([1]), Loiselle ([5]) and Yamaoka ([13]), I am forced to wonder whether Alan Hodgkin can have realised the full significance of his idea. Even the Nobel-prize winning 1952 article (Hodgkin & Huxley, [3]) was just entitled 'A quantitative I description i of membrane current and its application to conduction and excitation in nerve' (my emphasis).
