Scientists think they've identified a previously unknown form of neural communication that self-propagates across brain tissue, and can leap wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another – even if they've been surgically severed.
The discovery offers some radical new insights about the way neurons might be talking to one another, via a mysterious process unrelated to conventionally understood mechanisms, such as synaptic transmission, axonal transport, and gap junction connections.
"We don't know yet the 'So what?' part of this discovery entirely," says neural and biomedical engineer Dominique Durand from Case Western Reserve University.
"But we do know that this seems to be an entirely new form of communication in the brain, so we are very excited about this."
Before this, scientists already knew there was more to neural communication than the above-mentioned connections that have been studied in detail, such as synaptic transmission.
For example, researchers have been aware for decades that the brain exhibits slow waves of neural oscillations whose purpose we don't understand, but which appear in the cortex and hippocampus when we sleep, and so are hypothesised to play a part in memory consolidation.
"The functional relevance of this input‐ and output‐decoupled slow network rhythm remains a mystery," explains neuroscientist Clayton Dickinson from the University of Alberta, who wasn't involved in the new research but has discussed it in a perspective article.

I hate these articles that go off on tangents rather than saying what the finding is.
“and can leap wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another – even if they’ve been surgically severed”
So RF or quantum tunneling?
Gee. Maybe telepathy is innate.
I’ve had a limited exposure to a field called
quantum biology. It appears birds have brain
functions that involve quantum entanglement.
Maybe the neuron’s ability to communicate wirelessly
involves neurons in one area being entangled with
neurons in another area.
A real life Psi-Corps one day?
See #5.
Long ago they referred to people that got along as having ‘good chemistry’.
I always knew what my ex-wife was going to say before she said it, but, that's something different.
Twice in my life, and forty years apart, I was playing a board game with someone and get the feeling I knew what value of dice they were about to throw. I would say, “You’re going to throw double-sixes.”
And they did, both times. And these were the only times I ever felt compelled to do such a thing.
There’s more to us than we know, but may not be able to harness it.
Parents do that to their children all the time. My sister was always messing with her kids that way. When they were small they thought she could read their minds.

EPR birds!!
It’s called -The Smart Gene......The one that few have but that enables the rest of us to benefit from the fact that they do have them,and use them for our benefit...
...wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another
There are no wires in the brain,
but that said, interesting article

I dunno. Ocasio Cortez looks pretty wired to me.
Schiff, too.
For that to be, the body would have to be able to ‘spawn’ two particles in an entangled state.
Once you have the particles, distance doesn’t matter. Wouldn’t surprise me at all to find the body can somehow do that.
I was in neuropsychology for a while, try to keep up with notable developments, and am not exaggerating to say I am stuned at this! I said stuned at this!
I have believed in this for years, now they have finally found it. They need to study the Pineal gland better. Ever hear the starfish telegraph story?
Our brains are quantum processors. Quantum entanglement is what’s going on with this.
