A new neural circuit is proposed by considering the myelin as an inductor. This new neural circuit can explain why the lump-parameter circuit used in previous C-P theory is valid. Meanwhile, it provides a new explanation of the biological function of myelin for neural signal propagation. Furthermore, a new model for magnetic nerve stimulation is built and all phenomena in magnetic nerve stimulation can be well explained. Based on this model, the coil structure can be optimized.
