Information processing by neuron as processor of neurocomputer system

An attempt is being made to create an experimental model of the information process of nerve cells which will make it possible to investigate the mechanisms of the electron modification of the separate inputs, molecular organization, and dynamics of this process. The possibility is investigated of using the electron plasticity of the separate regions of the cells to experimentally verify a hypothesis about how the weights of the separate inputs change. The experimental data obtained show that local effects on the inputs of the molecular processor bring about, at the first stage, uniform rearrangements in the functioning of output molecules of its effector systems. Such rearrangements take place in a limited zone and do not depend on the direction that any further change of the resulting response may take. An experimental methodology has been developed making it possible to obtain data about the mechanisms by which molecular complexes function in the cell in the processes of perceiving, processing, and fixing information. >
