Field effects in the CNS play functional roles
An endogenous electrical field effect, i.e. ephaptic transmission, occurs when an electric field associated with activity occurring in one neuron polarizes the membrane of another neuron. It is well established that field effects occur during pathological conditions, such as epilepsy, but less clear...
