Modifica di Hemimasticatory spasm (sezione)

==Conclusion==
Before discussing the paths implemented to reach the diagnosis of 'Hemimasticatory spasm' of our poor patient Mary Poppins, we should anticipate that the encrypted code that we were trying to identify as a communication phenomenon concerns 'ephaptic transmission', a very important and complex phenomenon to evoke but above all requires a description of the electrical transmission between neurons. 

Electrical signaling is a key feature of the nervous system and gives it the ability to react quickly to changes in the environment. Although synaptic communication between nerve cells is primarily perceived as chemically mediated, electrical synaptic interactions also occur. Two different strategies are responsible for electrical communication between neurons. One is the consequence of low-resistance intercellular pathways, called “gap junctions,” for the diffusion of electrical currents between the inside of two cells. The second occurs in the absence of cell-cell contacts and is a consequence of the extracellular electric fields generated by the electrical activity of neurons. In the chapter dedicated to this fundamental topic, current notions on electrical transmission will be discussed in a historical perspective, comparing the contributions of the two different forms of electrical communication to brain function.
