The important consequences of the reversible heat production in nerves and the adiabaticity of the action potential

T Heimburg - Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2021 - Elsevier
It has long been known that there is no measurable heat production associated with the
nerve pulse. Rather, one finds that heat production is biphasic, and a heat release during …

Anomalous underscreening in the restricted primitive model

A Härtel, M Bültmann, F Coupette - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Underscreening is a collective term for charge correlations in electrolytes decaying slower
than the Debye length. Anomalous underscreening refers to phenomenology that cannot be …

Structural Evolution Governs Reversible Heat Generation in Electrical Double Layers

L Zeng, M Chen, Z Wang, R Qiao, G Feng - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Electrical double layer (EDL) formation determines the reversible heat generation of
supercapacitors. While classical theories suggest an exothermic nature, experiments …

Toward a holographic brain paradigm: a lipid-centric model of brain functioning

M Cavaglià, MA Deriu, JA Tuszynski - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Due to the stimulation of neuronal membrane dipoles by action potentials, under suitable
conditions coherent dipole oscillations can be formed. We argue that these dipole …

Progress on understanding heat generation of electrical double layers

L Zeng, X Tan, N Huang, G Feng - Current Opinion in Electrochemistry, 2024 - Elsevier
Heat is unavoidably generated during the dynamic formation and relaxation processes of

How is information transmitted in a nerve?

M Peyrard - Journal of Biological Physics, 2020 - Springer
In the last 15 years, a debate has emerged about the validity of the famous Hodgkin-Huxley
model for nerve impulse. Mechanical models have been proposed. This note reviews the …
