In 1907 a French neuroscientist named Louis Lapicque proposed a model to describe how the voltage of a nerve cell's membrane increases as a current is applied.
Once reaching a certain threshold, the neuron reacts with a spike of activity, after which the membrane's voltage resets.
What this means is a neuron won't send a message unless it collects a strong enough signal.
Lapique's equations weren't the last word on the matter, not by far. But the basic principle of his integrate-and-fire model has remained relatively unchallenged in subsequent descriptions, today forming the foundation of most neuronal computational schemes.
According to the researchers, the lengthy history of the idea has meant few have bothered to question whether it's accurate.
"We reached this conclusion using a new experimental setup, but in principle these results could have been discovered using technology that has existed since the 1980s," said lead researcher Ido Kanter at the time.
"The belief that has been rooted in the scientific world for 100 years resulted in this delay of several decades."
Science, unsettled
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.
