Spiking Neuron A spiking neuron is a special case In the brain. It is a neuron whose dendrites do not fire all at once when a charge passes down the axon. Instead they fire in a staggered, time delayed sequence, which permits a much greater complexity of signal than is immediately obvious. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

Neurons in the brain communicate by short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials or spikes. How can we understand the process of spike generation? How can we understand information transmission by neurons? What happens if thousands of neurons are coupled together in a seemingly random network? How does the network connectivity determine the activity patterns? 
In neuroprosthetics, rather than guide the electrodes to neuron dendrites, why not guide neuron dendrites to the electrodes? 
On the sixth of June 2005, the most ambitious project to date for brain research was launched. Its mission: to recreate a human brain in simulation, neuron for neuron, connection for connection. Then, turn it on, and give it stimulai, to see what happens.
