Review text

This paper analyzes the basic properties of enzymatic neurons in a simple continuous-time framework, and shows how they may be presented as reaction-diffusion networks which model the cyclic nucleotide system. We present the results of computer simulations of this neuron and discuss its implications for selectional learning and its relation to conventional two-factor systems. One fundamental property of the reaction-diffusion neuron is its so- called double-dynamics property. Examination of this property and its contribution to the computing power of the neuron provides some insight into the obscure relation between microscopic and macroscopic modes of computation.
