It's all in the timing: neurons may be more punctual than had been supposed

Article Abstract:

Neuroscientists have long believed that the functioning of neurons occurs against a backdrop of noise and random processes. However, US researchers are uncovering evidence suggesting that signal transmissions among neurons are highly dependent on precise timing.
