TL;DR

A new hypothesis called "Cytoelectric Coupling" suggests that electrical fields within the brain can manipulate neuronal sub-cellular components, optimizing network stability and efficiency. The theory proposes that these fields allow neurons to tune the information-processing network down to the molecular level. The hypothesis is open for testing and could significantly enhance our understanding of the brain's inner workings.
