Bioelectricity: Cells as Natural Circuits of Intelligence
Cells communicate through electrical signals. This phenomenon is known as bioelectricity. Bioelectricity is a vital aspect of cellular behavior and decision-making.
How Cells Communicate
Cells use electrical impulses to coordinate actions. This communication is essential for development, regeneration and tissue repair. Cells can change their electrical properties to adapt to situations.
Bioelectric Code
Researchers believe cells use a bioelectric code to process information. This code is similar to neural networks in the brain. Cells can store and process information electrically.
Applications
