The human brain consists of up to 100 billion of neurons. Every single neuron in the brain may be linked up to 10 000 other neurons. What is the role of single neuron in this extremely complicated network? It was accepted that a single brain cell acts like an on-off switch, working in concert with other brain cells to generate an element of thought.

However, as it was suggested recently, the individual neurons are able to recognize people, landmarks and objects - even the letter sequence of names. Can you believe that?

This new understanding of individual neurons as 'thinking cells' is an important step toward cracking the brain's cognition code. Individual brain cells, neurons are able to function like sophisticated computers. That’s why our brains are so powerful and even very super-super computer can’t compete with human brain even with one having externally low IQ.
