Brain cells

It makes me think of electronics and the role of resistors and capacitors in transmitting clear signals.
I have impress of a "gain" on the sensory pathway.

It might help to toss a couple of electronic engineers (signal processing, transmission, circuit layout, fault tracers) into those wine parties. Maybe with enough wine, a comment from a neuroanatomy expert might trigger a comment from a circuit layout expert about a similar effect he noticed in an electronic circuit, and what was eventually found to be responsible.
