- Ling (1982) - The cellular resting and action potentials- interpretation based on the association-induction hypothesis. Probably wrong but fascinating: Gilbert Ling (inventor of microelectrode and nominated for Nobel prize in the 1950s) insists that the membrane theory is wrong, membrane polarization is not based on movements of ions and pumps, but on adsorption/desorption of K+ by proteins (ie the intracellular medium is not a solution).
