Brain has more than 100 times higher computational capacity than previously thought, say UCLA scientists

March 10, 2017

Dendrites found to generate nearly 10 times more electrochemical spikes than neuron cell bodies The brain has more than 100 times higher computational capacity than was previously thought, a UCLA team has discovered. Obsoleting neuroscience textbooks, this finding suggests that our brains are both analog and digital computers and could lead to new approaches for treating neurological disorders and developing brain-like computers, according to the researchers. Dendrites have been … more…
