- The electrical fields generated by neurons play a key role in the coordination of brain functions.
- The study showed that information in two areas of the brain is coordinated by an emerging electric field.
- Electric fields have a strong causal effect on neuronal activity.
- The findings could improve the design of brain-controlled prostheses.
- Electrical fields control the electrical activity of networks of neurons to create a shared representation of information.
- Ephaptic communication in vivo allows the formation of a memory network.
- Research funding came from the UK Department of Research and Innovation, the US Office of Naval Research, the JPB Foundation and the Picower Institute.
