Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation increased the speed of substrate oxidation and ATP hydrolysis and raised cAMP induced neuron membrane current. Different inhibitors decreased it. Both effects support the hypothesis that a signal of intracellular injected cAMP spreads to the neuron membrane as a mechanical signal. This signal propagated to the membrane along microtubules which according to this hypothesis serve as a sound generator with metabolic heat pumping.
