A series of cellular automata models of amino acid side chains on a neuron soma membrane have been created to simulate their hydropathic influences on adjacent water molecules. The presence of pathways, referred to as water wires, is identified. These pathways are invoked as passage ways across a neuron soma of proton hopping carrying the information from dendrites to the axon hillock.
