> How is that possible? The neuron state is impacted by: neurotransmitters, electromagnetic fields, the chemical soup that it sits in, etc. An interesting example of how non-simple this stuff is: a new study (https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-024-06778-2 https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-024-06778-2) where both the intracellular calcium level and the membrane potential were measured at the same time. The result: The membrane potential encoded the presence of an odor The intracellular calcium level encoded the magnitude of the odor
