It is well documented throughout the spectrum of life: synapses play a significant role in the transmission of information between neurons. Yet even without the presence of synaptic transmission, neural activity propagates.
A powerful illustration is revealed in the phenomenon of thukdam or a state of tudkam (a rare occurrence in which a monk dies but there is seemingly no physical decomposition for a week or more).

Electric fields can modulate neuronal membrane voltage, (as succinctly found in the duct leading into a tubular lumen in the human vomeronasal complex or VNO -- which lacks a thick, distinct sensory epithelium).
However, there are cells in the lining of the lumen linked to a field-feeder structure of VNO receptor neuroblasts.*

*Neuroblasts
Within the olfactory bulb immature neuroblasts reside in the granule cell layer and glomerular layers, respectively.
Most of these adult neural stem cells lie dormant in adults, but in response to certain signals (such as light & mechno-biochemical interactions) these “enlivened cells” advance in a series of stages quickly producing neuroblasts that become neurons.
The smell sensory neuron axons form synapses in olfactory bulb glomeruli and are also capable of regeneration following regrowth of an olfactory sensory neuron residing in the olfactory epithelium

All suggesting just exactly how electric field coupling mediates self-regenerating propagation of neural activity. That is, induced activity generates an electric field capable of recruiting neurons.
Additionally, canceling the electrical field (at a given point) can block spontaneous propagation.
Moreover, in vitro electro-physiology experiments (and recent "re-animations of hours-long-frozen hikers" w/EEG supported ECMO** ) suggest electric field coupling is an essentially critical mechanism for non-synaptic neural propagation and contributes to fulsome systemic propagation activity as well.
**Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Machine (ECMO)
When connected to a patient, the Ecmo takes over the functioning of the heart and lungs, oxygenating the blood outside the body then reintroducing it, allowing both organs to rest. Once the brain signals via the introduction of oxygen -- the electronome is prepared (and body temperature had risen sufficiently) -- the cardiac arrest could be "reversed" using a defibrillator. In fact, EEG background asymmetry (as a measure of electrome) – w/one side of the brain being much less active than the other or giving different signals – has routinely shown poor ECMO outcomes, even after adjustment for cardiac arrest and overall suppression were made.
