Maybe. It could be that the "electro" part, the "chemical" part, or both will eventually be considered necessary causal factors in thoughts but not integral to thoughts. Same goes for the action-potential-synchrony which appears to play a role.
We do know a lot of stuff which could be involved in thoughts, but most of our conclusions are very tenuous.
This is a good book for a scientifically literate lay-person who wishes to familiarize herself with our present physiological knowledge about thoughts.
After you read that, read this, and then, if you really want to go deep, this.
[Edit] One more thing: The neocortex (the thin sheet of neurons that covers the surface of your brain - it's about as thick as a stack of 6 playing cards) appears to have primacy in the creation of thoughts. Something mysterious happens there that seems not to happen elsewhere in the brain, at least to the same extent.
