Infrared photons generated by voltage-gated sodium channel dynamics: a hypothesis for cooperative electrodynamic interactions at the axon initial segment
Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are essential for neuronal excitability and action-potential generation, yet the electrodynamic consequences of voltage-sensor motion remain largely unexplored. Here, we propose a biophysically grounded hypothesis in which transient electromechanical dynamics of NaV-channel voltage s...
