Neuroscientists find entirely new form of Neural Communication!!!

Communication is the nerve systems most important function as it runs every single cell tissue and organ either directly or indirectly. 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.
