How Synapses Work

the energy question is so obvious. if this was correct it would be a better code, as 20 mil sec and other speed problems make it impossible to have a greater anything. now the right answer is with this many computers not even a good question to ask. no one at salk or scrippts is asking the good question. i love this stuff.

Informative animation/narration, but why oh why did they feel the need to have the music track, which only serves to distract?

How much information can the brain synapses make if compared to computer storage? A petabyte at least?

teach your children well their professors never say they are correct about what one of you will prove false and claim the glory of your generation.

here it is on full display the most fancy wrong science ever. memory a hebbian synapse pattern. this is going to come crashing down on all of the most important scientists. a single neuron remembers a word or a movie star. chipmunks lose all their synaptic connection every year. a single neuron can behave to a time cue. an ant has too few cells to pattern any memory that every ant creates and reads every day. each cell read writes calculates computes only when it connects does the memory get applied to effect only then the synapse has utility. the expensive connectome project salk and scrippts will rule goes nowhere near the center of the mystery of the mind. just some of the machines that use the brains organic computers, nothing about those computers themselves.

Boring, I’m going to go watch spongbob and play Xbox
