Walter F. Castle (scientist)

Walter F. Castle was a pioneering American scientist known for his research in physiology and bioelectricity, particularly the electrical properties of biological tissues. His work advanced understanding of how cells and tissues generate and conduct electrical signals, which are fundamental to processes like nerve signaling and muscle contraction. Castle's contributions helped bridge biology and physics, fostering insights into how electrical phenomena influence health and disease. His research has had lasting impacts on biomedical science, medical diagnostics, and electrophysiology.
