Document Summary
Reinforcement learning does not require an external reinforce. This type of reinforcement learning is happening all the time. 10% lipids (cell membrane: humans have 20 000 protein encoding genes (these make more than 1 kind of protein via alternative splicing, proteins are what make things happen in cells. Chromosome holds the dna inside of the nucleus. Genes are the fxnl units that are transcribed. Soma = body of the cell, this is where the nucleus is situated. Synapses can form on dendrites, their spines, the soma as well as other axon terminals. Neurons have receptors for pretty much all nts but can only release a few diff kinds from their axons.
