That isn't really pertinent or I'd argue interesting in the context of this article, at all! It might be helpful to know that (some | many | most) people think of biological neurons as being sort of poor-quality artificial ones, or at least that there is a direct correspondence between an organic neuron and an artificial one. This paper is making the argument that a given biological neuron is more like a network of artificial neurons, which is interesting and important because a lot of research into intelligence right now is going into making 'biologically plausible' models and testing those. If their results are essentially that each neuron has the sophistication of a network then say a future model of a cortical 'cell' (a cluster of neurons we think have a purpose as a group) should take this into account. Genetics are interesting but neurologically we're still at the phase of knowledge where we are making up wild-ass conjectures and shooting holes in them for want of anything better to be doing.
