Neurons and how they work
We said earlier that animal brains puzzled scientists, because even small ones like pigeon brains were vastly more capable than digital computers with large quantities of electronic computing elements and storage space running at frequencies much faster than fleshy, squishy natural brains.
Because of this, scientists began paying attention to the architectural differences between the two kinds of brains. Traditional computers processed data ...
