Cellular information dynamics through transmembrane flow of ions

We propose cells generate large transmembrane ion gradients to form information circuits that detect, process, and respond to environmental perturbations or signals. In this model, the specialized gates of transmembrane ion channels function as information detectors that communicate to the cell thro...
