synapses

Also, the receptive cells have many synapses where data is processed before it going to the optic nerve.

We have no proof that the only way neurons communicate with one another is via the synapses.

Right now the models for synapses and Neurons are very simple compared to what actually is happening in them.

And the billions+ of entrenched synapses that compose the sum total of your life to date.

The human brain has between 100 and 500 trillion synapses and consumes a lowly 12 watts.

For the same 12 watts as a human brain eats up, a set of memristors could simulate three trillion synapses.

Through a series of actions, it forces more dopamine into synapses than would normally be released.

This can occur within the neurons themselves, at the neural synapses (connections between neurons), or at a more structural/neural organizational level.

Brain architecture, chemistry of synapses are just implementation detail of this general idea if your have to build it out of biological cells.

To get 100 trillion synapses, multiply those 12 watts by 33.3 to get 400 watts (the draw of nearly seven 60-watt incandescent bulbs).

Not OO!) and rethinking it, before my brain switched enough synapses and I was in the groove.

The 15,000 synapses/neuron that we have grown at around age 3 must be cut in half...

They refer to their model as "single-compartment phenomenological spiking neurons, learning synapses with spike-timing dependent plasticity, and axonal delays" in their The cat is out of the bag article.

Even if you believe that consciousness arises from the synapses, and is therefore a simulation or illusion to begin with, there's still no way to prove that you would "transfer".
