Do simple paradigms underlie neuronal computation?

• Neuronal structure is conserved

  • Across the animal kingdom and across neural functions

• Neuronal signaling is conserved

  • Action potentials, neurotransmitters, asynchronous, parallel

• Neuronal adaptation is conserved

  • Learn from experience

• Neuronal operation is conserved

  • Reliable operation using unreliable components
