How Our Body's Electrome Defines Us

Sally Adee's new book, We Are Electric: The New Science of Our Body’s Electrome, exams the centuries-long quest to understand how the body uses electricity. Beyond just how neurons send electrical signals, new research is showing how ancient biological mechanisms use electricity to heal our bodies and dictate how cells behave. Adee, a former editor at IEEE Spectrum, talks with host Stephen Cass about this research and how it may even open the door to regenerative technologies that are currently science fiction.
