Voltage Clamp Neuron. This will simulate hh neuron model for applied voltage. We know how ions move during the action potential because of a special technique called a voltage clamp experiment that was used in the 1950s.
It is important to stress the importance of being able to thread the control wire through the axon which is made possible by the large diameter of the axon. In nonspherical cells such as neurons the membrane potential is not clamped distal to the voltage clamp electrode. The voltage clamp apparatus consists of a feedback amplifier a voltage amplifier and an ammeter.

In nonspherical cells such as neurons the membrane potential is not clamped distal to the voltage clamp electrode. The voltage amplifier is connected to a voltage electrode implanted inside the neuronal membrane and to the feedback amplifier. The voltage clamp is an experimental method used by electrophysiologists to measure the ion currents through the membranes of excitable cells such as neurons while holding the membrane voltage at a set level. Total ionic current and individual components of ionic current is estimating and total ionic current plotting in the top graph as red trace in response to the voltage applied as voltage which is plotted as blue trace in the same graph see fig.
