Summary
Decoding the Nervous System: A Thermodynamic Approach
Unique reference explaining how novel concepts in thermodynamics can explain the full range of nerve cell properties and functions
Physics of Nerves and Excitatory Membranes lays out a novel concept for the function of excitatory membranes, nerve cells, and the brain that is based on thermodynamics, demonstrating that the propagation of a nerve pulse, its temporal length, the occurrence of ion ch…
