Before revision:  A single spiking neuron has been shown to be able to solve many of these required tasks for homogeneous Poisson input statistics, a commonly used model for spiking activity in the neocortex ; when modeled as leaky integrate and fire with gradient decent learning algorithm it was shown to posses a wide variety of complex computational capabilities.
