Focusing on the largest pyramidal neurons in the motor cortex, researchers found dendritic branches do not simply pass movement information forward. Each sub-branch calculates the information and passes it to larger sub-branches, which in turn, perform the same operation. Multiple dendritic branchlets can interact with each other to amplify their combined computational product.
Technion-Israel Institute of Technology scientists found that computation occurs not just in the interaction among nerve cells but also within each individual neuron.
