Cytoelectric Coupling: Electrical Fields Fine-Tune Brain Functioning

Scientists present a hypothesis dubbed "Cytoelectric Coupling" suggesting electrical fields within the brain can manipulate neuronal sub-cellular components, optimizing network stability and efficiency. They propose these fields allow neurons to tune the information processing network down to the molecular level.
