Abstract
This book is a Persian translation of a seminal work that chronicles the dramatic and often misunderstood history of electrophysiology. It presents this interdisciplinary field not just as a scientific discipline, but as a grand human saga of rivalry, passion, and perseverance, standing at the crossroads of biology and electronics.
The narrative takes readers on an immersive journey through time, from the pioneering—and often contentious—discoveries of early giants like Galvani and Volta to the revolutionary modern insights into membrane potentials, even within non-neural and cancerous cells. It is a story of brilliant minds who were sometimes celebrated, often ridiculed, and in tragic cases like Hans Berger, driven to despair, all in their relentless pursuit of knowledge.
More than a historical account, "Bioelectricity" serves as a bridge from rigid scientific dogma to groundbreaking discoveries. It vividly portrays the innovative experiments, revolutionary achievements, and the personal struggles of the scientists who shaped the field, protecting it from pseudoscience and charting its true scientific course.
The book also explores the profound cultural and social impacts of electrophysiological discoveries, demonstrating how they have reshaped our understanding of the human condition, revolutionized medical practices, and laid the foundations for modern neuroscience.
Meticulously translated and published by Damghan University Press, this work is designed to ignite curiosity and inspire a new generation of scientists, researchers, and innovators to continue this centuries-old "electrical journey" into the mysteries of life.
