Ephaptic conduction is direct electrical stimulation of the postsynaptic neuron by the presynap neuron. &nbsp;Cross-talk is another good synonym for it.</p>

Neurons do NOT go thru mitosis and cannot usu. be replaced. They are terminally differentiated.

(Brain cancer is NEVER due to neuron mitoses/ dedifferentiation. &nbsp;It always involves GLIA!)</p>
