Abstract: In this study, the effects of voltage change in ion channels in order to reproduction of action potential and its simulation by Hodgkin Huxley model have been explored . The simulation has been performed by using the Matlab software . By writing Hodgkin Huxley equations codes and applying the parameters values of it , action potential waveform to obtain. Then by reducing the amount of excitation current, the lowest value that the action potential is placed on the eve of the production will be obtain. The next step is to stabilize the input excitation current to the value obtained and then change the sudiom , potasiom and leakage channels voltage. According to the characteristics of each ion channels and voltage variations on them, action potential will start to reproduce. Thus we have shown, with the decline of the excitation current for reasons such as some illness, we can reproduce the action potential and propagate it inside of axon by changing the ion channels voltage.
