For rapid non-linear information processing in the brain, small synaptic impulses are key

Friday, September 10, 2010 - 09:14 in Biology & Nature

A novel theoretical framework for mathematically modeling nerve cells has illuminated for the first time how small synaptic impulses enable non-linear information processing in the brain. Reported in PLoS Computational Biology, the findings offer fundamental insights relevant to a wide range of biological, physical and technical systems.
