		Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley was born in Hampstead, England in 1917.
		The English physiologist was the co-winner (with Sir Alan Hodgkin and Sir John Carew Eccles) of the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
		Huxley and Hodgkin's researches were concerned largely with the physicochemical analysis of the fundamental phenomena involved in the excitation in a peripheral nerve fibre and in conduction of excitation along it.

	Thomas Huxley
		Huxley's support for natural selection is perhaps surprising when contrasted with his earlier attacks on the evolutionary theories put forth by Lamarck and Robert Chambers.
		Huxley wrote, "the progress of a higher animal in development is not through the forms of the lower, but through forms which are common to both lower and higher.
		Huxley and his colleagues showed that the brains of apes and humans were fundamentally similar in every anatomical detail.

		Andrew Fielding Huxley is an English physiologist whose research on nerve impulse transmission earned him the 1963 Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology, which he shared with his colleague Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and the Australian physiologist John Carew Eccles.
		Huxley and Hodgkin confirmed scientists' earlier discovery that nerve impulse transmission involves a momentary change in the nerve fiber's membrane, affecting the ability of particles to pass through it.
		In the course of their research, Huxley and Hodgkin were surprised to learn that, contrary to earlier hypotheses, the outer layer of a nerve fiber is not equally permeable to all ions (charged particles).

	Chapter 2. A Brief history of Computational Neuroscience
		Alan and Andrew had theorized previously that "the sodium conductance was a continuous function of membrane potential multiplied by an inactivation variable that fell with first-order kinetics towards another function of membrane potential".
		The fact that the delay in onset was very obvious in the records which he made later with Huxley and Katz (using their much improved experimental setup) may have played an important role in revising his thinking about the details of the ionic channel kinetics and conductances.
		Huxley used a tedious iterative, error-correcting, numerical integration method to estimate and correct for numerical integration errors.

		Andrew Fielding Huxley (born 1917) is a British physiologist and biophysicist, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1963 for his work with Alan Hodgkin on the basis of action potentials in nerves, the electrical impulses that enable the activity of an organism to be coordinated by a central nervous system.
		The experiments took place at the University of Cambridge beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the 1940s, after interuption by World War II.
		Huxley was a son of the writer and editor Leonard Huxley by his second wife Rosalind Bruce, and hence a grandson of the biologist T.

	Hodgkin and Huxley: Superheroes
		In 1952, Hodgkin and Huxley wrote a series of five papers that described the experiments they conducted that were aimed at determining the laws that govern the movement of ions in a nerve cell during an action potential.
		Thus, more time is spent exploring Hodgkin and Huxley's mathematical model and less time is spent on the biological impact their work had.
		Due to Hodgkin and Huxley's findings, we are able to understand how an action potential propagates along a nerve and the functions of their associated ion channels.

		According to Zahalak, Huxley is perhaps best known in biomedical and engineering sciences for the Hodgkin-Huxley Equations, which made possible a detailed quantitative understanding of neural conduction based on sound biophysical data.
		And he is the half-brother of Julian Huxley, a famous English biologist, and writer and author Aldous Huxley.

	CSHL: Symposia on Quantitative Biology
		The exciting developments in muscle biology had to compete with the developments in molecular genetics, and it is not surprising, given the interests of the Cold Spring Harbor directors, that the Symposia through the 1950s and 1960s were devoted primarily to genetics.
		Both Andrew and Hugh Huxley (not related to each other) were there, as were Jean Hanson (who died tragically young in 1973), Setsuro Ebashi, Sam Perry, and most notably, Albert Szent-Gyšrgyi.
		His opening remarks are not recorded in the Symposium volume but the panel of photographs of him during the presentation show a vigor and passion undimmed since his seminal discoveries on oxidation 40 years earlier.

		The research eventually revealed the role of membrane currents and conductivities for various ions, and culminated in a mathematical description which is used today as a fundamental template for the modelling of most excitable cells, including neurons, cardiac cells, and pancreatic beta-cells.

	Critical breakthrough (August 2005) - News - PhysicsWeb
		Andrew Huxley and colleagues at the CEA laboratory in Grenoble and the Grenoble High Magnetic Field Laboratory (GHMFL) cooled a sample of uranium rhodium germanium (URhGe) until it became a superconductor.
		However, when Huxley and co-workers increased the magnetic field to 8 Tesla, the superconducting behaviour returned.
		The breakthrough was made possible, says Huxley, by the availability of high-quality single crystals of URhGe and high magnetic fields at the GHMFL.
