Neuroscientists have vastly underestimated brain cells’ computing power

So, it turns out that neurons are way more complex than we thought! Researchers have discovered that the branches of neurons, called dendrites, can compute information independently, making each neuron like its own mini neural network. This challenges the old idea that neurons are just single processors. The findings suggest that our brains might have a much greater computational capacity than previously believed, which is just mind-blowing!
