Illustration of the GNR-enhanced NINS model. Localized thermal heat generated by GNRs diffuses to the neuronal membrane. A transient temperature increase elicits both inward capacitive current and inward TRPV1 channel current and changes the membrane potential, finally triggering an action potential.
