Neurologists
define the transmission of nerve impulses across the membranes of the neural
cells as a result of difference in the concentration of ions while they measured an electric
potential, called as an action potential, which allows the propagation of such nerve impulses as electrical signals.
Such measurements should guide them to a logical explanation of the nerve impulses aselectric charges driven by the measured action
potential. However, such logicalconclusion, or explanation, is ignored due to a
wrong definition of the flow of electric charges as a flow of electrons that
cannot pass through neural networks. According to recent studies, electric
charges are properly defined as electromagnetic (EM) waves whose energy is
expressed as the product of its propagating electric potential times their entropy flow which is
adhered to the flow of such energy. Such definition matches the logical conclusion of the
nerve impulses as electric charges,as previously explained, and defines the entropy of the neural network, measured by
Ammeters, in Watt or Joule/Volt. The measured entropy represents a
neurodiagnostic property of the neural networks that measures its capacity to
allow the flow of energy per unit action potential. Theoretical verification of the innovative definition of nerve impulses is presented byfollowing an advanced
entropy approach.Aproper review of the
machine records of the stimulating electric charges, used in
