Neither one nor the other subject does an action. Notice that the negative sense is conveyed by the 'n' in 'neither' and 'nor'. 'Not' is not placed before the verb. Subjects connected by 'neither ... nor' take either a plural or singular verb conjugation depending on the subject (a singular or a plural) closer to the conjugated verb.
