Emil,
Just read the article in full at the library a.k.a. Borders :) Very good
read about how humans measure the results of their choices...
There is also another excellent article about the glia in the brain. It
seems that glia have a much more substantial role in learning and memory
than previously thought. This may cause those who were neuron-centered to
recalculate the computational capacity of the brain with strong
consideration to glia which outnumber neurons 9 to 1..
