Alan Hodgkin (1914–1998) was a prominent British physiologist best known for his work in the field of neurophysiology. He made significant contributions to the understanding of the electrical properties of nerve cells. Along with Andrew Huxley, Hodgkin received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1963 for their research on the ionic mechanisms involved in the propagation of action potentials in neurons, which was crucial for understanding how signals are transmitted in the nervous system.
