- Synopsis
- Like all cellular organisms humans run on electricity. Cells work like batteries: slight imbalances of electric charge across cell membranes, caused by ions moving in and out of cells, result in sensation, movement, awareness, and thinking--the things we associate with being alive. Robert Campenot offers an accessible overview of animal electricity.
