Finally, the FiztHugh-Nagumo model represents a simplified model of the cell
membrane as presented in Fig. 2.6 . In this simplified model, the membrane patch
consists of three components, a (membrane) capacitor, a nonlinear current-voltage
device for the fast current W, and a resistor, an inductor and a battery in series for the
recovery current. This circuit was built and tested in 1962 by Nagumo, a Japanese
electrical engineer [ 18 ].
