Considering Elon Musk's new Nueralink, the original Utah Array, and what happens to an individual nueron with long term potentiation, what happens to a nueron on a cellular level (and consequently other nuerons further down a nueral pathway) when stimulated by an extra-cellular placed electrode in close proximity to it?
Does this make the firing of a nueron even more likely due to plasticity changing the number of dendridic spines contributing to an increase in spatial summation around that electrode?
