Galvani and du Bois-Reymond conducted experiments in the late 18th and early 19th century that established the role of electricity in the functioning of the nervous system. Galvani performed experiments on frog legs and showed that electrical stimulation could cause muscle contractions. Du Bois-Reymond refined this work and demonstrated that electrical signals were propagated along nerves, establishing electricity as the mode of communication in the nervous system.
