<p dir="auto">Until very recently, dendrites were not considered particularly computationally rich - they just managed the action potential summations to turn a neuron on or off in a process (tho nerves are pretty much always on, so that is a kind of poor analogy - anyway…). The cool thing is that now it seems dendrites not just the neuron - where the DNA of the cell and other organelles sit - is itself computationally active</p>
