Tnx, Brian.
This is what I found interesting:
(SNIP SNIP) Poirazi already knew XOR was possible: just two dendrites together could achieve it.

(SNIP SNIP) Having such powerful individual neurons, according to Poirazi, might also _help the brain conserve energy_.
P.S.
Here's a link to the researcher's lab site.
