• Ion Channelsconcept0.794
  Proteins that set membrane potential; function as transistors with historicity, forming the hardware of bioelectric networks.
• Ion Channels and Pumpsmethod0.790
  Cellular machinery controlling resting potential and voltage dynamics; manipulable via drugs or optogenetics to modulate morphogenetic outcomes.
• Membrane voltage acts as a coarse-grained parameter subsuming many ion channel combinations.finding0.781
  Cells generalize over ion channel microstates via macrovariable Vmem, enabling repurposing of responses for novel stimuli.
• Bioelectric networks discovered by evolution ~time of bacterial biofilms; served as ideal medium for scaling computation and information synthesis before neural systems.finding0.779
  Evidence that pre-neural bioelectric infrastructure predates and likely precedes neurobiology; supports continuity of intelligence across substrates.
• Ion channel-modified cells recruit neighbors to complete eye organogenesisfinding0.759
  Ectopic eyes induced by ion channel misexpression; if few cells injected, they recruit unmanipulated neighbors to produce normal-sized eyes—collective recruitment competency.
