[ExI] single neurons think?

[William Flynn Wallace]

Basically, the researchers figured out that the human brain can modulate
the amplitude of electrical activity in order increase the longevity and
efficacy of its signals. This, apparently, allows individual neurons to do
more than just figure out if something is one thing or another, it allows
them to perform an XOR calculation

something previously thought impossible for a single neuron in the human
brain.
