title: A minimal biophysical model for an excitable and oscillatory neuron.
abstract: Presented here is a minimal biophysical cell model, based on work by Hodgkin and Huxley and by Rinzel, that can exhibit both excitable and oscillatory behavior. Two versions of the model are studied, which conform to data for squid and lobster giant axons.
