We don't know which "function that describes a neuron" we need to use -- are Izhikevich's nonlinear dynamics models of ion channels good enough, or do we need to go deeper? Also we don't know about the importance of extracellular charge diffusion... computation/memory happening in the glial network ... etc. ... phenomena which suggest that the neuron-functions are not the only elementary operators at play in brain dynamics... Lots of fun stuff still to be learned ;-) ben ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
