Is K+ current in Action Potential real?
This paper argues that the delayed potassium current in the classical Hodgkin-Huxley model is an experimental artifact caused by misinterpreting capacitive current, and proposes a new model incorporating the Axon Initial Segment and specific physical laws for living systems to accurately describe neuronal action potentials.
