New research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem suggests that human neurons can perform far more complex computations than previously thought.

Rather than acting like simple switches, individual cortical neurons may function as sophisticated biological microchips, processing information in ways that resemble deep neural networks. The findings could offer new clues about human intelligence, language, imagination, and the future of AI.
