Electric circuits in the cortex
•It turns out that human intelligence is largely related to the processing capabilities of neurons in the neocortex and their organization.
•Detailed study shows that these neurons behave as do analog circuits in many aspects.
•On a physics level, the neurons actually have many analog circuits in them (!) But, parts like synapses have many chemical mechanisms and are not electric circuits as such.
