Electric
Numsgil:
Technically it's not electricity. It's potassium ions I think. Anyway, much different but still related to what we think of as electricity.
PurpleYouko:
Well electricity itself isn't what most people think it is. B)
It's amazing how few people really know what it is.
Numsgil:
Electricity is the passing of electrons (tiny tiny quanta of energy) via excited charged conductive particles, generally metals such as iron, etc.
Our brains pass potassium positive ions (if not potassium, then maybe sodium), which are much, much, much larger than electrons, and have the oppositive charge.
The effect is indeed the transmitance of charges. But the mechanisms are so entirely different.
Zelos:
but cause its electrical charged it is effected by "normal" electricity and magnetism, parts that have been badly hurt are acctualy able to repair it self in a increadeble rate, it aint that much but huge for the brain, when its stimualted by magnetism.
Numsgil:
Um, I'm going to say that's a load of horse hooey.
All that new age magnets-around-my-wrist things are just bull. There has not been any scientific study able to link magnetism/electrical fields and physiological effects. (Except for that electromagnet at Fermilab, Illinois, which can produce a field strong enough to pull the iron from your blood. That one definately has some physiological effects.)
