I'm not arguing that it's the same as a conventional wire, but it is definitely still electricity. Communicating a signal by difference in ionic charge is, by definition, an electric signal, even if it's the movement of ions in a pump instead of electrons across a solid wire.

But it's a cascade of pump triggering the next pump, not electric.
