This is what is for discussion:
All of the voltage and current sources can easily be hardwired using opamps, FET, transistors, etc.. The problem with that is even the best electronic capacitors leak, while in biology charged ions move from place to place without matter being destroyed in the process by "circuit losses". Real ATP powered ion pumps have the electrical characteristics of the current and voltage sources used, not 2N2222 transistors and such. Charge simply moves from capacitor to capacitor, not circuit to circuit that sinks loads from a power supply to keep transistors and other devices at a given voltage. It is then possible to connect nearby neurons to neighbors by the capacitance between them. I expect that this forces to fire together, and wire together. But that's another experiment to come! We first need the model for one neuron.

The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
