Cytoelectric coupling: Electric fields sculpt neural activity and “tune” the brain's infrastructure

DA Pinotsis, G Fridman, EK Miller - Progress in Neurobiology, 2023 - Elsevier
We propose and present converging evidence for the Cytoelectric Coupling Hypothesis:
Electric fields generated by neurons are causal down to the level of the cytoskeleton. This …

In vivo ephaptic coupling allows memory network formation

DA Pinotsis, EK Miller - Cerebral Cortex, 2023 - academic.oup.com
