ABSTRACT

nerve function (S). Additional evidence is suggested by the known ability of strong electric fields to induce superconductivity in organic polymers, since such fields are associated with the generation of action potentials (32). Finally, certain neuronal processes show negative temperature coefficients which can not be explained in terms of classical electrochemistry (33). since electron tunneling between superconductors shows negative temperature coefficients (33), superconduction may explain this anomalous behavior of neurons.
