N2 - The study of electrical activity associated with the majority of in vivo cellular processes is quite well known with respect to excitable-membrane (nerve, muscle, etc. ,) events. Of increasing importance, however, are those electrical phenomena that are becoming to be associated with various basic processes including cell growth, total body organization, and fundamental neural activity. There is increasing evidence that these electrical factors are control signals that regulate these processes. This work reviews the present status of knowledge in this area and indicates the basic electrochemical nature of these potentials.
