Frances Ashcroft: We are controlled by electrical impulses

[Northerner]

Frances Ashcroft is a professor of physiology at the University of Oxford. In 1984, she discovered the mechanism by which levels of the hormone insulin are related to fluctuations in blood sugar level ? if this mechanism does not work properly it can lead to diabetes. She was named European laureate at the 2012 L'Oreal-Unesco awards for Women in Science. Her book The Spark of Life (Allen Lane, ?20), explains how electricity is vital to the human body.
