The concept of solitons, self-reinforcing solitary waves that maintain their shape and velocity as they propagate through a medium, has been proposed as a potential mechanism for neural signaling in the brain. In this paper, we critically examine the hypothesis that neurons exhibit soliton-like behavior. We review theoretical models of neuronal dynamics that incorporate soliton-like phenomena, such as action potentials and traveling waves of neural activity. Additionally, we present experimental evidence from neuro physiological studies and computational simulations that support and challenge the soliton hypothesis. Our analysis sheds light on the complex nature of neuronal signaling and highlights the need for further research to elucidate the role of solitons in neural information processing.
