The authors propose a framework that derives the physical manifestations of the action potential from a macroscopic, thermodynamics-based perspective, treating the nerve signal as a result of the collective physico-chemical properties of the lipid bilayer neuronal membrane (specifically the axolemma) and the membrane skeleton (cytoskeletal protein polymers, particularly actin fibrils).
