Thermal transients excite neurons through universal intramembrane mechano-electrical effects (2017, background): “…that the INS phenomenon is mediated by temperature transients induced by IR-absorption 15–17 ; such transients can alternatively be induced using other forms of photo-absorption 18–20 , or potentially by any other physical form of thermal neuro-stimulation that can be driven rapidly enough 21,22 .”
