<title>Model Structure</title>

<para>
In 1962, Denis Noble published one of the first mathematical models of a cardiac cell.  By adapting the equations of the original Hodgkin-Huxley squid axon model (1952), Noble described the long lasting action and pace-maker potentials of the Purkinje fibres of the heart.  The potassium-current equations differ from those of Hodgkin and Huxley in that the potassium ions are assumed to flow through two types of channel in the membrane.  By contrast, the sodium current equations are very similar to those of Hodgkin and Huxley.
</para>

<para>
The main failure of the Noble (1962) model is that it only includes one voltage gated inward current, I<subscript>Na</subscript>.  Calcium currents had not yet been discovered, but there was a clue in the model that something was missing.  The only way the model could be made to work was to greatly extend the voltage range of the sodium current by reducing the voltage dependence of the sodium activation process.  In effect the sodium current was made to serve the function of both the sodium and the calcium channels as far as the plateau is concerned.  There was a clear experimental prediction: either sodium channels in the heart are quantitatively different from those in neurons, or other inward current-carrying channels must exist.  Both predictions are correct.

<caption>A schematic cell diagram describing the current flows across the cell membrane that are captured in the Noble 1962 model.  Note that this image is identical to the schematic diagram which describes the Hodgkin-Huxley 1952 model.  This is because the Noble 1962 model is based on the HH 1952 model, and the ony differences are in the parameters of the model, and also the gating of the potassium channel - and these differences do not show in the schematic diagram.</caption>

    <rdf:value>This is the CellML description of Noble's 1962 mathematical model of Purkinje fibre action and pace-maker potentials.  The equations formulated by Hodgkin and Huxley (1952) to describe the electrical activity of squid nerve have been modified to describe the action and pace-maker potentials of the Purkinje fibres of the heart.</rdf:value>
