I bet we'll find there's more computation going on in neurons (and possibly other brain cells) than we currently know about which will necessarily be happening

I bet we'll find there's more computation going on in neurons (and possibly other brain cells) than we currently know about which will necessarily be happening at much smaller scales than synapse firing.
- meowface 2y agoI think this is likely, yes. I think there are already some leads pointing in that direction. I think it likely won't depend on quantum mechanics, though. (But of course, this is all idle speculation from a complete amateur.) Each neuron is itself a complex organism. They're unicellular, but each is still a robust lifeform.
