中国科学家发现单个神经元或可充当“迷你计算机”，助力决策
Chinese scientists find neurons may act as minicomputers that help decision-making
中国科学家通过小鼠实验发现，单个神经元的树突可将已学规则与输入的感觉信息整合，推动灵活选择，为神经元像“迷你计算机”一样参与决策提供实验依据。研究人员表示，这些认知过程的新发现也可能有助于设计更灵活、高效的仿脑 AI 系统。

Chinese scientists have found evidence that individual neurons can act like powerful minicomputers that enable flexible behaviour such as making decisions.
Scientists do not have a complete understanding of how our brains adapt to changing contexts to respond appropriately to sensory information.
But by studying mice, the team obtained the first experimental evidence that dendrites – branchlike structures attached to neurons – can integrate learned rules with incoming sensory inputs to drive flexible choices.
These new insights into the cognitive process could also help in the design of more adaptable and efficient AI systems modelled on the human brain, the researchers said.
