<DIV>Hey y'all,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm trying to work on the Life/Death Reality Argument off-list, and I have a couple of bizarre questions for anyone with a greater knowledge of Neurobiology:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1)</DIV> <DIV>What would be a very lower-bound estimate for the physical distance between the Soma/Main-Body of one neuron and the Soma/Main-Body of an adjacent neuron in the Human brain? (Doesn't matter what units are used)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2)</DIV> <DIV>What would be a very lower-bound estimate for the distance between a Terminal Button and the Dendrite's surface? (Again, units don't matter)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The reason I ask, is that I'm trying to refine my estimate of the time delay between neuronal discharges by incorporating a discussion about the illusion of Simultaneity of discharges - involving distances between neurons and the speed of light. Any input is greatly appreciated.</DIV>
