UNC neuroscientists discover new ‘mini-neural computer’ in the brain — News Room - UNC Health Care:

Dendrites, the branch-like projections of neurons, were once thought to be passive wiring in the brain. But now researchers at UNC have shown that dendrites actively process information, multiplying the brain’s computing power. The finding could help researchers better understand neurological disorders.
