  2. Proximity principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_principle

    Within the realm of social psychology, the proximity principle accounts for the tendency for individuals to form interpersonal relations with those who are close by. Theodore Newcomb first documented this effect through his study of the acquaintance process, which demonstrated how people who interact and live close to each other will be more ...

  3. Default mode network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

    In neuroscience, the default mode network (DMN), also known as the default network, default state network, or anatomically the medial frontoparietal network (M-FPN), is a large-scale brain network primarily composed of the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, precuneus and angular gyrus.

  4. Node (networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(networking)

    A physical network node is an electronic device that is attached to a network, and is capable of creating, receiving, or transmitting information over a communication channel. [1] In data communication, a physical network node may either be data communication equipment (such as a modem , hub , bridge or switch ) or data terminal equipment (such ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_architecture

    Network architecture is the design of a computer network.It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as communication protocols used.

  6. Physical layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_layer

    In a network using Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) architecture, the physical signaling sublayer is the portion of the physical layer that [7] [8] interfaces with the data link layer's medium access control (MAC) sublayer, performs symbol encoding, transmission, reception and decoding and, performs galvanic isolation.

  7. Engram (neuropsychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engram_(neuropsychology)

    Neuroscience acknowledges the existence of many types of memory and their physical location within the brain is likely to be dependent on the respective system mediating the encoding of this memory. [9] Such brain parts as the cerebellum, striatum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala are thought to play an important role in memory.

  8. Social distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_distance

    This suggests that social distance and physical distance are conceptually related. Route planning exercises have also hinted at a conceptual link between social distance and physical distance. When asked to draw a route on a map, people tend to draw routes closer to friends they pass along the way and further away from strangers. [15]

  9. Network theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_theory

    In mathematics, computer science and network science, network theory is a part of graph theory.It defines networks as graphs where the vertices or edges possess attributes. . Network theory analyses these networks over the symmetric relations or asymmetric relations between their (discrete) compone
