Josephson's effect in the transmission of electrical signals through synapses.
In the transmission of electrical signals through synapses Josephson's effect is observed: the passage of electron pairs through the superconductor slot is accompanied by the radiation of superhigh frequency (SHF) oscillations in the submillimeter range. External magnetic and electrical fields, especially SHF, significantly influence the above transmission process. Acetylcholine is not the source of such transmission but acts only as a chemical valve protecting biological systems from the high frequency of pulses.
