[edit] Serious?

Are these guys for real? How do they explain

A)Abolition of the AP by voltage channel blockes
B)The fact that APS still occur at higher or lower temperature than normal, albeit with different kinetics?

sounds like a hoax. Yes they have actually published this idea in a physics journal, but I cannot imagine any neuroscientist taking this idea seriously. Medlat 19:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I skimmed their papers a bit, and it seems kind of interesting. I think the problem is just the way it was presented here and on action potential as an alternative to Hodgkin Huxley. In fact it's an extension of the existing theory, and definitely does not seem to work without at least some help from ion channels. If I have time I'll read their papers and correct this, though mainly I'm busy writing my own. :) Dsol 22:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
