Thermal Transients Excite Neurons through Universal Intramembrane Mechanoelectrical Effects
2018
Rapid temperature pulses can increase the capacitance of cell membranes (a key mechanism in techniques for restoring neural function), but the underlying biophysics is not well understood. A new predictive model shows that tiny changes in membrane dimensions, mediated by temperature fluctuations, are responsible.
