Abstract
Computing in nature as is the case with the human brain is an emerging research area in theoretical computer science. The present paper’s aim is to explore biological neural cell processes of interest and to model them with foundational concepts of computer science. We have started by discovering and studying certain primitive symbolic neural operations of neuron functions, and we have formalized them with Lindenmayer (L) systems.
