John Walter Woodbury (1923–2017) was a prominent American electrophysiologist, recognized for his pioneering textbook on the Hodgkin-Huxley model, which described action potentials in neurons. He utilized physical and mathematical approaches to study electrical excitability in biological cells. Woodbury contributed significantly to understanding ion permeation through muscle membrane channels, maintaining cellular acid-base balance, and controlling epileptic seizures through repetitive vagus nerve stimulation. His work laid a foundation in electrophysiology and has influenced both research and therapeutic strategies in neurology and physiology.
