I, for one, *am* in the neuroscience discipline, also "don't get it", and
hardly call the information at that site or in your diatribe below as
"breakthrough".  The original poster was asking a simple question and
wanted some solid, well-accepted information.  The suggestion of
a good neuroscience textbook was appropriate.  The suggestion to
read non-peer reviewed information that has not had a chance to be
validated (or even comprehended) by the community is inappropriate as
a response to this query.  Whether you are right or not isn't the issue.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with computer scientists.  At least many of
them understand the importance of validating a model with a real
biological experiment.
