SUMMARY:MBB Distinguished Lectures - Professor Charles Randy Gallistel (Psychology, Rutgers)
DESCRIPTION:Mind/Brain/Behavior Distinguished Lecture: It’s the Neuron! How the Brain Really Works<br> Randy Gallistel (Psychology and Cognitive Science, Rutgers, <a href="http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/~galliste/">http://ruccs.rutgers.edu/~galliste/</a>)<br> 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.<span style="color: #1f497d;"> Post-talk commentary by Professor John Lisman, Brandeis University</span><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;">
