Different ions with different charges. Sodium (Na^+) as you can see has one positive charge per ion, as does potassium (K^+), calcium has two (Ca^2+), and hydrogen has one (H^+). This charge is balanced with negative charges, a minority fro

The spacial characteristic is important because activity at two nearby dendrites receiving excitatory (or inhibitory) inputs have an additive effect which is greater the closer they are, this is because the signal is based on concentration

In the lab we are able to see EEG waves when doing ABR in a non-electrically isolated environment pretty easily. I think that if the electrodes can be implanted under the skin next to the skull in a way that the animal wouldn't be tryi
