Brain waves can be sent by electrical fields

[Plazma Inferno!]

Synaptic transmission, gap junctions, and diffusion processes are not the only ways our brains transmit information from one place to another, a new study suggests.
Researchers have recorded neural spikes travelling too slowly in the brain to be explained by conventional signalling mechanisms. In the absence of other plausible explanations, the scientists believe these brain waves are being transmitted by a weak electrical field, and they've been able to detect one of these in mice.
They reported their findings in The Journal of Neuroscience: http://www.jneurosci.org/content/35/48/15800

Ohhh, this is interesting. Particularly since I've read some time ago that our brain can receive information (language, words) through modulated microwaves:

Knowing that the brain works with electric fields at least in some parts might explain why we can receive information transmitted by microwaves. As far as I know there was no good explanation of the effect yet.
