Given that a neuron can have as many as 50,000 dendrites and spines, all of which are potential synaptic inputs from neighboring neurons, and that neurons can be either activated, resting or inhibited (3 different discrete states), how many possible combinations are there to predict whether a fusiform face neuron is active?
