And these micro RNAs will be involved in the modifications.<BR/><BR/>There certainly is a lot of processing going on within neurons. It is not just the plasma membrane and connections between neurons. I probably involves the Endoplasmic Reticulum, and if you accept Penrose and Hammerhoff's hypothesis possibly the microtubules.<BR/><BR/>I doubt our ability to create an artificial consciousness in fixed hardware. I suspect we will not be able to create a true artificial intelligence without creating artificial life first.Lloyd Flackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832519369660328832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11327701.post-79022838753691181022007-08-14T10:29:00.000-07:002007-08-14T10:29:00.000-07:00Does this micro-RNA do any information processing ...Does this micro-RNA do any information processing in the neurons? If it does, it would make figuring out how neurons work a lot harder.mythusmagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458869083534878283noreply@blogger.com
