Influence of a nanorod molecular layer on the biological activity of neuronal cells. A semiclassical model for complex solid/liquid interfaces with carbon nanotubes

► Neuronal cells/membranes modeled as stastistical devices governed by semiclassical/quantum-like mechanisms. ► Spectroscopic interpretation for the frequency change of a biological signal, here elicited by a power broadening effect of the carbon phase. ► Four biological enhancement agents (synaptic strength, electrochemical coupling, geometric/electric connectivity, electromagnetic/polarization effects).
