So WIKI is wrong, and McGraw-Hill is wrong, but you can't come up with any single external reference that supports your (rather absurd) claim that no currents flow in the human brain?
We have the facts.
As usual, you want to argue semantics and ignore the facts.
I don't quite understand why Michael and justatruth have such a desperate obsession with having ion flux across a membrane at Nodes of Ranvier called an electrical current.
I don't understand why you two can't get along with the rest of the scientific community
You're the one claiming that charged particle movement in the brain is not a "current" even though every WIKI and other reference cited says exactly the opposite! What facts? All I've seen so far are handwaves and references that *refute* your claim.
The ion flux occurs at a right angle to the nerve impulse. That is a fact. Therefore, the nerve impulse is not a current. The nerve impulse is a wave of proteins changing their tertiary structure. I have shown you multiple references that demonstrate just that.
I don't understand why you two can't get along with the rest of the scientific community either,
I'm still waiting for either of you to cite an actual external reference that actually supports your claims.

I don't understand why you two can't get along with the rest of the scientific community either, but that's not really my problem. I'm still waiting for either of you to cite an actual external reference that actually supports your claims. So far every single reference has actually refuted your claim. Do you even have *any* external reference that doesn't talk about voltages and current?
I think they are insisting we call ion flux a current for whatever petty reason. Maybe they think their magic cosmic plasma god demands it?
You haven't shown me one that didn't use the term current or voltages or charged particle movement.
In fact every single one of your own references *disagrees* with your claims. They all include the term 'current'.
Agreed, point me to this FACT that says anything but electric current and voltage? They might find one if they go back to 1880 papers MichaelLol.
No, but any charged particle movement is a form of current.
Sorry that physics rains on your parade and all, but again, it's not my fault that you can't even produce a single external reference that actually agrees with you.
We might care more if you explained this weird fetish for semantics you two have developed.
I think I lost ten irony meters on that one.
Already did.
"In physiology, an action potential is a short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory."
Action potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Membrane potential (also transmembrane potential or membrane voltage) is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. Typical values of membrane potential range from –40 mV to –80 mV.
You should really start here:The membrane potential in a cell derives ultimately from two factors: electrical force and diffusion. Electrical force arises from the mutual attraction between particles with opposite electrical charges (positive and negative) and the mutual repulsion between particles with the same type of charge (both positive or both negative).
Agreed, point me to this FACT that says anything but electric current and voltage? They might find one if they go back to 1880 papers MichaelLol.
And?
Let me add to that what you leave out:
