What Is the Right Level to Study Things At?

The single nuron is a great buildinging ground for that, because you know everything. Individual nurons are transforming their inputs with very part icular rules that depend on on the underlying lanternal distributions. It's possible to get tam the firing rates from a particular neuron by a model that works at a somewhat more abstracted level. But we have all this interesting molecular machinery under the hood, and so you turn every nuron into a complex computational element. So i think one of the important things about these elements is that they may allow us to do complex computations with fewer units right? And maybe in some ways that makes it simpler in some ways as well.
