There he discovered Principia Mathematica by Bertrand Russell and Alfred Whitehead. Anyway, not only did he find mistakes in the reasoning, but also he sent a letter to Bertrand Russell! From then on, Walter was noted for his genius in mathematics. With Waren McCulloch, another genius, they invented the first neuron. It seems simple. But it's the result of sleepless nights. Just as the invention of the wheel appears simple, nothing better has been found to this day. This concept of a the neuron...
