Cytoelectric Coupling: Electric fields sculpt neural activity and “tune” the brain’s infrastructure.
Brain waves carry info and alter the brain on the molecular level. This tunes the cytoskeleton, optimizing network function.

I usually hold off skepticism until after I read something. But you do you.
How do you know it is hard to believe until you hear the arguments? Until then, it's just "new".
It's not like we are proposing a new law of physics or new biological principles.
For example, electrical fields guide embryonic development, organizing structures throughout the body. That's how a cell "knows" which part of the finger to migrate to
I would be skeptical if that mechanism shut off after development and wasn't used by the brain, which is electrical.
Yes. Because I am now aware of the evidence and arguments. See how that works?
All that really matters is where you land, Kari.
Always fun to chat with you.
