Spark of life. Electricity in the human body

Everyone knows that electricity drives the machine, it is much less known that this can be said about ourselves. The ability to read and understand what has been written, see and hear, think and speak, move your arms and legs, and even realize your own “I” is due to the electrical activity of cells, which is initiated by ion channels. They regulate our life processes from the moment of conception to the last breath. This book is almost a detective dedicated to a special variety of protein matter, the ion channel. She gives answers to many questions. What happens during a heart attack? Is it really possible to die of fear? Why can an electric eel hit with an electric shock? How do poisons act on the body? What really does Botox do? What saved James Bond when he was poisoned? Why eat fugue? Why are red and yellow tones prevail in the later paintings of Claude Monet? Is love really a chemical phenomenon? The book is extremely cognitive for everyone who is interested in the nature of electricity and its role in our body
