The neuron — the membrane potential
the mind
A nerve impulse is a wave of voltage across a membrane, set by ion gradients through the Nernst equation (61.5 mV per decade at body temperature, sealed). The resting potential and every action potential are electrochemistry in a living cell. Rests on physical chemistry and biology.
