Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The Hodgkin-Huxley model describes how a neuron's membrane voltage evolves over time due to ionic currents.

    “A classic example is the conductance-based Hodgkin–Huxley model (23), which describes how a neuron’s membrane voltage V evolves over time due to ionic currents (Equation 4).”
  • According to the standard 'Hodgkin-Huxley' model, biological neurons are 'integrate-and-fire' threshold logic devices in which multiple branched dendrites and a cell body (soma) receive and integrate synaptic inputs as membrane potentials.

    “Similarly, according to the standard 'Hodgkin-Huxley' [35] model, biological neurons are 'integrate-and-fire' threshold logic devices in which multiple branched dendrites and a cell body (soma) receive and integrate synaptic inputs as membrane potentials (Fig. 1).”

    From Consciousness in the universe (2014) · cites this paper as [35]

  • The Hodgkin-Huxley model was first described by Hodgkin and Huxley and modified by Abbott and Kepler.

    “This model was first described in the seminal work by Hodgkin and Huxley, and modified by Abbot and Kepler59,60.”
  • Consciousness is widely assumed in modern science and philosophy to arise from complex synaptic computations within neural networks, with brain neurons as fundamental units of information.

    “The prevailing assumption in both modern science and philosophy is that consciousness arises from complex synaptic computations within neural networks, where brain neurons function as fundamental units of information [1,2].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
