Discovery of Unique Brain Signal by Scientists.

Scientists have discovered a never-before-seen novel signal in the brain called calcium-mediated dendritic action potentials (dCaAPs), which was found in the outer cortical cells of the brain. This new form of cell messaging could provide neurons with another way to carry out their functions, making the brain more like a computer than previously believed. The dendrites determine the computational power of individual neurons in the brain, and this discovery only highlights the complexity of the human brain.
