<p>"For 70 years, neurons were considered the basic computational unit of the brain. Yet according to <span style="color:rgb(5,99,193)"><u><a href="https://science.sciencemag.org/content/367/6473/83">a new study</a></u></span> published this month in <i>Science</i>,
 the neurons in our cortex, the outermost “crust” of our brain, seem to 
have uniquely evolved to sustain incredibly complex computations in 
their input cables. It’s as if someone finally obtained proof that your 
computer’s electrical wiring is actually made up of mini-processors, 
each performing calculations before sending results to a CPU."</p>
<p>"It’s weird. It’s controversial. But it has also just been seen for the first time in human neurons."</p>
