Abstract In 2005, we proposed that the nerve pulse is an electromechanical soliton (T. Heimburg and A. D. Jackson. “On soliton propagation in biomembranes and nerves,” Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., vol. 102, pp. 9790–9795, 2005). This concept represents a challenge to the well-known electrochemical Hodgkin–Huxley model. The soliton theory was criticized by Nimtz and Aichmann in a recent article in Zeitung für Naturforschung A (G. Nimtz and H. Aichmann. “On biological signaling,” Z. Naturforsch. A, vol. 75, pp. 507–509, 2020). Here, we wish to comment on some statements that we regard as misinterpretations of our views.

摘要 2005 年，我们提出神经脉冲是一种机电孤子（T. Heimburg 和 AD Jackson。“在生物膜和神经中的孤子传播”，Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, vol. 102, pp. 9790– 9795, 2005)。这个概念对著名的电化学霍奇金-赫胥黎模型提出了挑战。Nimtz 和 Aichmann 最近在 Zeitung für Naturforschung A（G. Nimtz 和 H. Aichmann.“On biosignaling,”Z. Naturforsch. A, vol. 75, pp. 507–509, 2020）上的一篇文章中批评了孤子理论）。在此，我们想对一些我们认为是对我们观点的误解的声明发表评论。
