Abstract
Electrical activity in neurons is ubiquitous and is essential to maintain vital functions of the body. It is manifested by a variety of patterns of discharges (action potentials, spikes) and the specificity of transduction mechanisms that enable the system to integrate and to coordinate the overall behaviors in space and time
There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
