- Abstract
This document is an editorial published in the journal Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience. It commemorates the 90th anniversary of the 1932 Nobel Prize awarded to Sir Charles Sherrington and Edgar Adrian for their discoveries regarding the functions of neurons. The editorial discusses new insights into the initiation and propagation of action potentials and the behavioral modulation of reflexes. It highlights the complexity of action potentials and the need to incorporate newer findings into our understanding of them. The editorial also mentions the presence of multiple spike initiation zones and the potential role of ectopic action potentials in normal neurophysiological processes. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of remaining open to a wide variety of opinions and ideas in order to further develop our understanding of nervous systems.
