The basic electrical operation of a neuron is to output a voltage spike from its axon when the sum of its input voltages (via its dendrites) crosses a specific threshold. And since axons are ...

Dendrites transmit these inputs to the main body of the neuron, where it then integrates all these signals to generate its ...

What is the basic computational unit of the brain? The neuron? The cortical column? The gene? Although to a neuroscientist this question might seem poorly formulated, to a computer scientist it is ...
