Century-Old Picture of a Nerve Spike is wrong: Filaments Fire, Not Just Membrane

Subrata Ghosh, Pushpendra Singh, Komal Saxena, Pathik Sahoo, Anirban Bandyopadhyay

For a century, it was believed that neuron membrane transmits electric field, that pulse is the information content. Everything inside remain silent. Nerve spike is the foundation of artificial intelligence, neuro medicine, and neuroscience. In recent years, it has been shown using state-of-the-art technology that filaments fire, regulate spike time modulation precisely, redefining cognition. The results are going to change neuroscience fundamentally; it would change the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and brain science.
