Israeli scientists solve mystery: How human brain processes, stores movement
Technion-Israel Institute of Technology scientists found that computation occurs not just in the interaction among nerve cells but also within each individual neuron.
Three pyramidal nerve cells in the motor cortex, whose job it is to send the motor commands directly to the spinal cord. The cells are characterized by a pyramidal shape of the cell bodies and highly branched dendritic trees, a feature that allows them to perform complex parallel processing.(photo credit: RESEARCH PAPER)ByJUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICHUpdated:
