Neurons can do much more than we give them credit for. By looking at the interaction of localized, long lasting and highly non-linear effects in dendrites, we try to show how a simple mechanism might allow individual spiking neurons to precisely recognize temporal sequences on the order of hundreds of milliseconds.

The computational power and efficiency of the brain are still unmatched, even by state-of-the-art technology. The reason might be, that the individual nerve cell is already a lot more sophisticated than we thought for a long time.
