Bioelectricity, Adee makes the case, is a shockingly underexplored area of science that spans all parts of the body. Its story is one of missed opportunity, scientific threads exposed and abandoned, tantalizing clues and claims, “electroquacks” and unproven medical devices — and frogs. Oh so many frogs.
But around the same time, Galvani critic Alessandro Volta, another Italian scientist, invented the electric battery. It was the kind of razzle-dazzle, history-shaking device that stole the spotlight from animal electricity, and the fledgling field fizzled. “The idea had been set,” Adee writes. “Electricity was not for biology. It was for machines, and telegraphs, and chemical reactions.”
She describes how cells use ion channels to usher charged molecules in and out. One thing readers might not expect from a book that illustrates the intricacies of ion channels: It’s surprisingly funny.Chloride ions, for example, are “perpetually low-key ashamed” because they carry a measly -1 charge. Bogus medical contraptions were “electro-foolery.” In her acknowledgements, Adee jokes about the “life-saving powers of Voltron” and thanks people for enduring her caffeine jitters.
Along with zingy Band-Aids of the future, Adee describes other sci-fi–sounding devices in the works. One day, for example, surgeons may sprinkle your brain with neurograins, neural lace or
That enhances the fiends if study for growth and therapy stimulation, impact of source background effects on these processes and even the human biome. Space travel, hibernation and the lack of the factors also could be better understood. Great advances!
Nope. We're humans, flesh and blood and fallen.
We are all just ghosts piloting meat-coated, solar-powered skeletons made of space explosion residue, living on an extremely fast moving ball of salty mud with a force field that protects it from bursts of fire launched at it by a colossal nuclear explosion that said salty…
Alhamdoulillah, All praises Is Due to Allah SWT Who created us perfectly.
lol y’all so late and will be dealt with by the authorities

we are more than just electric... we are electronical.
