Very interesting! A question from a layman: what is a “signal” in the context of a neuron? Is it discrete binary ON/OFF, or is it discrete with multiple levels

Very interesting!
A question from a layman: what is a “signal” in the context of a neuron? Is it discrete binary ON/OFF, or is it discrete with multiple levels, or is it fully analog? Do we know the “encoding” of the signals? What do they represent?
- oezi 3y agoMy understanding was that it is an analog signal of current. The voltage of which spikes when the Neuron fires. The signal travels along the dendrites and may boost or deactivate other neurons.
