Yep, I forget a useful link ... http://neuron.duke.edu/  here you can find a
neuron electrophysiology simulator!
You'll be able to experiment by yourself everything about E field, charge
displacement etc. even depolarization and synaptic transmission between
neurons. The simulator offers a macro language for programming the bilayer
properties and a user interface for monitoring key values and plot
dinamically their variations. Give it a try :-)
