Published: February 2017

Background: The article proposes a new concept explaining nerve conduction information. The conduction is based upon proton hopping, the fastest known chemical reaction. A summary of the proton hopping at several parts of the nerve structure are described.

Methods: The details of each part of the nerve system are described in the article.

Results: A summary of the parts of the nerve structure involving the role of proton hopping, are expressed to give a complete picture of the nerve function and the role of proton hopping.

Conclusion: An overall description of the function of the nerve is described in terms of the role of proton hopping as the mechanism of message passage.
