Ben,
I see artificial neural networks modeled on biological neural networks as sort of like a tortoise in this race --- it's probably going to take a long time to get models of the brain to be accurate enough to actually work as a functioning AI. However it seems that the probability of this approach working _eventually_ is very high. That's a big strength in a field covered with the carcases of failed projects that had great ambitions. It's the slow but sure approach I guess.
Nevertheless it seems unlikely to get there first. Surely at some stage enough of the secrets will be known that somebody will be able to make the jump from partial knowledge derived from biology to a full working system by making a few good educated guesses at what else might be needed to make the whole thing work properly.
Time will tell.
Hasn't this idea of inter-glia communication been around for a while now? Or am I confusing it with something else... I'm sure I've read about it before, at least a few years ago. Perhaps in neural GAS stuff??
Cheers Shane
