This paper describes digital computer simulations of the membrane voltages and currents in axons and muscle fibers. The simulations, which allow calculations ona nonuniform fiber, are based on the discrete Hodgkin-Huxley and Falk-Fatt equations. An efficient algorithm is used to solve the set of equ

The linear cable equation with uniform Poisson or white noise input current is employed as a model for the voltage across the membrane of a one-dimensional nerve cylinder, which may sometimes represent the dendritic tree of a nerve cell. From the Green's function representation of the solutions, the
Digital computer programs have been developed which enable these rapid computations to be performed for membranes whose electrical behaviottr is described according to the Hodgkin and Huxley scheme or extensions of it which include membrane-potential-dependent functions (rectification). The programs
