The Electron Capture Hypothesis - A Challenge to Neuroscientists

Abstract

Lower speed impinging ions (with hydration shells) cannot transverse ion channels once internal charge goes positive. Yet neural pulse waveforms fail to show the expected risetime distortion beginning at zero voltage. Observed waveforms cannot be explained unless electron capture is considered.
