Me? Not me. All the external references used the same terminology I used. They used terms like *voltage* and *current*. You're the one that seems to have their own personal lingo going, not me. I cited several different WIKI references, and LM produced two of his own that said exactly the same thing!
So far neither of you has provided an external reference that *did not* talk about current and voltages in fact.
And.....Were it not for the fact that currents flow in our brains, you and I wouldn't be having this discussion.

Current flows are not nerve impulses.
It's really too bad that you can't produce so much as a single external reference that actually agrees with you, and the one reference that you did provide (McGraw-Hill) actually called it a "current".

Dear Jesus the willful ignorance is just painful.
Actually your inability to cite a useful reference that actually supports your claims is really the painful part.
Notice that conducting zone?
"Why do I have the horrifying premonition that you think the brain actually carries current as if it's a bunch of copper wire?"--kellhus
I think your premonition has come true.
Actually your inability to cite a useful reference that actually supports your claims is really the painful part. What the heck does one image say about anything? How about this one from the same set of images?

Understanding the Transmission of Nerve Impulses - For Dummies
Not sure what you are referencing but a current is a constant flow or cycle and an impulse is a inconstant series of flows. Although the word current can be used to define a set path that is inactive. Nerves are impulses and currents both by this definition
The etymology of the words does more to suffice then any science book.
Cell membranes surround neurons just as any other cell in the body has a membrane. When a neuron is not stimulated it's just sitting with no impulse to carry or transmit its membrane is polarized. Not paralyzed. Polarized. Being polarized means that the electrical charge on the outside of the membrane is positive while the electrical charge on the inside of the membrane is negative.
When the neuron is inactive and polarized, it's said to be at its resting potential. It remains this way until a stimulus comes along.
The relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called the resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the specific dynamic electrochemical phenomena called action potential and graded membrane potential.
Remember that when the neuron was polarized, the outside of the membrane was positive, and the inside of the membrane was negative. Well, after more positive ions go charging inside the membrane, the inside becomes positive, as well; polarization is removed and the threshold is reached.
Well, it's from 2001, which in neurobiology makes it a fossil, and factually incorrect, since myelin does not conduct electricity.
Then what is Morse code? What is AC current where the electrons wiggle back and forth, with but a slow drift along the wire? What is a relaxation oscillator?
Do you understand resting potential?
Clearly.

Apparently you didn't bother to read it.

Do you understand resting potential?
Resting potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They rush in because negative and positive attract.
then perhaps you should read up on depolarization:
Repolarization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And finally you should try to understand hyperpolarization:
Hyperpolarization (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No kidding Sherlock, meylin is the insulation, as in wires,
what part of electrical insulation do you not get, it surrounds the axion, insulating it from random electrical impulses from other neurons. My god, you will make something up to keep your non-electrical view won't you.
Well, it's from 2001, which in neurobiology makes it a fossil, and factually incorrect,.....
A nerve impulse is not the transmission of an electron from one end to the other as it is in metal conductors.
Do you understand that a propagating action potential is not a current?
