Torrent description

What happens during a heart attack? Can someone really
die of fright? What is death, anyway? How does electroshock
treatment affect the brain? What is consciousness? The answers
to these questions lie in the electrical signals constantly
traveling through our bodies, driving our thoughts, our movements,
and even the beating of our hearts. The history of how scientists
discovered the role of electricity in the human body is a colorful
one, filled with extraordinary personalities, fierce debates, and
brilliant experiments. Moreover, present-day research on electricity
and ion channels has created one of the most exciting fields in
science, shedding light on conditions ranging from diabetes and
allergies to cystic fibrosis, migraines, and male infertility. With
inimitable wit and a clear, fresh voice, award-winning researcher
Frances Ashcroft weaves together compelling real-life stories with
the latest scientific findings, giving us a spectacular account
of the body electric.
