  Alan Lloyd Hodgkin Biography (1914-1998)
Hodgkin was born on February 5, 1914, in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England, to George L. and Mary Wilson Hodgkin.
Hodgkin was educated at the DownsSchool in Malvern and the Gresham School in Holt.
In 1951, Hodgkin and his colleagues published the results of their research.They found that the membrane is permeable only to specific ions during the resting potential, because of the differing concentrations of potassium and sodium.

 More on Hodgkin
Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832, and characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells.
Hodgkin's disease must be distinguished from non-cancerous causes of lymph node swelling (such as various infections) and from other types of cancer.
The cell histology in Hodgkin's lymphoma is not as important as it is in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: the treatment and prognosis in Hodgkin's lymphoma depend on the stage of disease rather than the histotype.

Sir Alan Lloyd Hodgkin was born in 1914 in Oxfordshire, England.
The English physiologist and biophysicist received (with Andrew Fielding Huxley and Sir John Eccles) the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the chemical processes responsible for the passage of impulses along individual nerve fibres.
By inserting microelectrodes into the giant nerve fibres of the squid Loligo forbesi, they were able to show that the electrical potential of a fibre during conduction of an impulse exceeds the potential of the fibre at rest, contrary to the accepted theory, which postulated a breakdown of the nerve membrane during impulse conduction.

The generation of Thomas Hodgkin junior preserved the previous generations' papers consciously, as a family archive, but their own documents were not invariably added to this stock: some are only now reintegrated after several decades in which they passed, presumably, from one manuscript dealer and one collector to another.
John Hodgkin junior's second marriage, to Ann Backhouse (1815-1845), joined the Hodgkins with a prominent Quaker family in the North-East (the Backhouses of Darlington were bankers and were involved in based in Darlington), but the marriage lasted only a few years before her death of Bright's disease.

 Hodgkin, Alan Lloyd
Hodgkin was born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and educated at Cambridge, where he spent most of his career and became professor 1952.
Hodgkin and Huxley managed for the first time to record electrical changes across the cell membrane, and Hodgkin then built on these findings working with Bernhard Katz, another cell physiologist.
They proposed that during the resting phase a nerve membrane allows only potassium ions to diffuse into the cell, but when the cell is excited it allows sodium ions (which are positively charged) to enter and potassium ions to move out.

In full SIR ALAN LLOYD HODGKIN English physiologist and biophysicist, who received (with Andrew Fielding Huxley and Sir John Eccles) the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of the chemical processes responsible for the passage of impulses along individual nerve fibres.
Their experimental results (1947) indicated that the nerve membrane allows only potassium to enter the fibre during the resting phase but allows sodium to penetrate when the fibre is excited.
Hodgkin served as a research professor for the Royal Society (1952-69), professor of biophysics at Cambridge (from 1970), and chancellor of the University of Leicester (from 1971).

 Mathematics Awareness Month - April 2007
Mathematical models continue to play a central role in understanding brain cells, their interaction, and their function.
The 1963 Nobel Prize was awarded to Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley for a model that uses differential equations to approximate the electrical characteristics of excitable cells.
Their original model described the ionic mechanisms underlying the initiation and propagation of action potentials in the squid giant axon and led to many later developments to model brain activity at the single neuron level.
