TL;DR Summary

Scientists have discovered a unique form of cell messaging in the human brain, involving a novel 'graded' signal produced by cortical cells using calcium ions, leading to the identification of calcium-mediated dendritic action potentials (dCaAPs). This finding suggests that individual neurons in the human brain may have more computational power than previously thought, potentially allowing for exclusive OR (XOR) intersections. Further research is needed to understand the implications of this discovery and its potential applications in both neuroscience and technology.
