Abstract

Realistic modeling of the cat's brain advances neurobiology, while also teaching us a lesson on efficient communication among parallel processors. A scheme that can quickly propagate "spikes" of current between connected nerve cells might find use in many cases where a lot of irregular and nonlocal communication is needed.
