CLEVELAND, OHIO — Research published in the Journal of Physiology details a newly found form of neural communication in which neurons that are not connected can send signals to each other.<br /><br />According to the study, the new type of neural communication is able to move from a neuron in one section of the brain to another. <br /><br />Scientists from Case Western Reserve University were testing brain waves in hippocampal slices taken from the brains of decapitated mice. <br /><br />According to the study, researchers found that an electrical field was generated at a gradual recurring interval in their sampled brain tissue. This activated nearby cells.<br /><br />The electric field was also found to stimulate neurons even if there was a gap in the brain tissue.
