Mind/Brain/Behavior Distinguished Lecture: It’s the Neuron! How the Brain Really Works  
 Randy Gallistel (Psychology and Cognitive Science, Rutgers, <http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/~galliste/>)  
 Current accounts of how the brain computes focus on the neural circuitry, on how the neurons are connected. I suggest that the computational capacities of individual neurons may have been grossly underestimated. I cite recent results suggesting that acquired information is stored inside neurons. I argue that if the information on which the computations operate is stored inside the neuron, then important computational machinery must also be there. Post-talk commentary by Professor John Lisman, Brandeis University
