"We now know that electrical signals can be generated in many different parts of a neuron, and also that these signals can travel from the axon to the cell body and beyond to the dendrites. Most neuroscientists still think of this as the "wrong direction," but the latest research suggests that this backward signalling, or 'antidromic' firing, probably contributes to the brain's information processing capabilities."
So it looks like backpropagation is really happening. Interesting article. What is "neurophilosophy" supposed to be (really lol...)
