Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

NOTE

Do You Mind?

Cells function as batteries with voltage gradients created by the movement of positively charged potassium ions. By measuring the voltage across cell membranes, electro physiologists can determine the extent of depolarization. Different colors represent varying voltage differences, with red indicating low differences and blue indicating high differences. Non-neural bioelectric signals have implications in regeneration and cancer research. The analogy of hardware and software is used to explain the encoding of genetic information and the electrical dynamics of living organisms.
