    And in nerves it’s ion pumps first shoving ions outside and if a trigger occurs, the gate opening, ions flooding in, opening the next gate and so fort. It’s not the same.

      I’m not arguing that it’s the same as a conventional wire, but it is definitely still electricity. Communicating a signal by difference in ionic charge is, by definition, an electric signal, even if it’s the movement of ions in a pump instead of electrons across a solid wire.
