So at least you'll admit that if fruit flies are not as clever as mice, they're at least as clever as pigeons. (Laughter) Now, I want to get across that it's not just a matter of numbers but also the challenge for a fly to compute everything its brain has to compute with such tiny neurons.
Trebuie să recunoaşteţi cel puţin că, chiar dacă nu sunt la fel de deştepte ca şoarecii, musculițele sunt cel puţin tot atât de deştepte ca porumbeii. Deci, nu e doar o chestiune de numere, ci şi una de capacitate de procesare a informaţiei, cu nişte neuroni atât de mici.
