Nerve Conduction Through Dendrites Via Proton Hopping, Lemont B. Kier
Nerve Conduction Through Dendrites Via Proton Hopping, Lemont B. Kier
Biology Publications
Background: In our previous studies of nerve conduction conducted by proton hopping, we have considered the axon, soma, synapse and the nodes of Ranvier. The role of proton hopping described the passage of information through each of these units of a typical nerve system. The synapse projects information from the axon to the dendrite and their associated spines.
Methods: We have invoked the passage of protons via a hopping mechanism to illustrate the continuum of the impulse through the system, via the soma following the dendrites. This is proposed to be a continuum invoked by the proton hopping method.
