Dendritic morphology and synaptic nonlinearities enhance functional complexity in human cortical neurons.

The long-standing scientific pursuit to understand what distinguishes the human brain from those of other animals has historically focused on size and the sheer number of neurons. However, a groundbreaking…

A New Glimpse into the Dawn of Animal Intelligence: Ctenophore Sensory Organs Reveal Unforeseen Complexity

Detailed three dimensional reconstructions of a key sensory structure in ctenophores reveal far greater structural and functional complexity than scientists previously recognized. The results suggest that a simple brain like…
