🧠 What can a single neuron compute?

A new #bioRxiv #preprint introduces #TwinProp, using a differentiable digital twin to optimize synaptic strengths and locations in a detailed layer 5 #pyramidal #CellModel. One #neuron classified images and speech and even solved 10-bit parity with 91% accuracy. The key: distributed #dendritic nonlinearities, especially #NMDA-dependent integration:
