No, the implications of this do not include "intelligent chips". Neurons aren't "smarter" than something we can currently create digitally, and if anything they transmit information more slowly.

The primary use of technology like this? Better brain implants (especially interesting considering the reported increased attractions neurons had for the tubes; this is one of the major problems in brain implants right now).

Amen to both points.
