The Hindmarsh-Rose model is a system of three differential equations that model a different physical aspect of a single neuron. The three dynamical variables in this model, x, y, and z represent respectively the membrane potential, the activity of fast gated ion channels (such as sodium and potassium), and the activity of slow-gated ion channels (such as calcium and chloride).

The Hindmarsh-Rose model was developed using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.   Double clicking the jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  You can modify this simulation if you have EJS installed by right-clicking within the map and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.
