Proposes a model explaining how chemical energy converts to electrical energy in rhodopsin, suggesting a new pathway for nerve impulses.
Although the conversion of light to chemical energy is understood, little is known about how the chemical energy is converted to electrical energy (a nervous impulse). A model is proposed by which the addition of another step, the conversions of chemical energy to heat and this energy to electrical energy, could provide this link.
