Well, it’s unsurprising in one way. It’s also distinctly fascinating, possibly starting a revolution in the scientific understanding of brains and nerves.
Bacteria and other one-celled critters often use wires to connect with each other. Now some brain researchers have found that neurons use the same type of tubes to pass atoms directly. This is not the same as synapses. A synapse is a one-way selective transfer of information across the liquid space between cells. A wire is a two-way transfer, constant communication without selectivity or tuning.
The receiver of a synapse only responds to certain types of chemicals and leaves its gate closed to spam.
These researchers are working on one possible cause of Alzheimers, so they were alert to transfers of the compound they’re observing. Clearly the wires are used for broader purposes which haven’t been explored yet.
Also unsurprising: the researchers are mostly Chinese and Korean, working at an American university. Oriental scientists own most of the world’s imagination now. US scientists have been dumbed down and neutered by decades of tenure and “diversity” and “climate” and ADA shit. China doesn’t shackle its brains with bonkers lunacy. China just gets things done.
