We consider the structure and function of the neuron.

1. From before: clocking, flip-flops, and counters.
   1. Review: SR-Latches.
   2. Review: Leading-edge detectors/Contrast indicators.
   3. Clocked latches: turned on and off by an external clock.
   4. Flip-flops: Edge-sensitive clocking (2 ways)
   5. D-type: flip-flops.
   6. T-type flip-flops: Counter basics.
   7. How to build any function out of and and or gates.
2. Exams.
