- bluefirebrand 1y agoI suppose, but I think the important part is that they ultimately make the circuit pretty non-deterministic and difficult to predict, which is not really a feature that we normally expect a circuit to have
- ninetyninenine 1y agoNo this is not true. There is literally physical space between dendrites and neurons where chemicals called neurotransmitters are released then receptors pick up the chemicals. So the pathway through the brain is not purely electrical. That being said I agree with your overall point as it’s just signals and systems and how the mechanism works is irrelevant to the fact that everything can be modelled by a neuron.
