  2. Engram (neuropsychology) - Wikipedia

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

    The term "engram" was coined by memory researcher Richard Semon in reference to the physical substrate of memory in the organism. Semon warned, however: "In animals, during the evolutionary process, one organic system—the nervous system—has become specialised for the reception and transmission of stimuli.

  3. Neuropsychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropsychology

    Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology concerned with how a person's cognition and behavior are related to the brain and the rest of the nervous system.Professionals in this branch of psychology focus on how injuries or illnesses of the brain affect cognitive and behavioral functions.

  4. Spike-timing-dependent plasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike-timing-dependent...

    Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a biological process that adjusts the strength of connections between neurons in the brain.The process adjusts the connection strengths based on the relative timing of a particular neuron's output and input action potentials (or spikes).

  5. Computational neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_neuroscience

    Computational neuroscience (also known as theoretical neuroscience or mathematical neuroscience) is a branch of neuroscience which employs mathematics, computer science, theoretical analysis and abstractions of the brain to understand the principles that govern the development, structure, physiology and cognitive abilities of the nervous system.

  6. Neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron

    A neuron, neurone, [1] or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system.They are located in the brain and spinal cord and help to receive and conduct impulses.

  7. Cognitive neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_neuroscience

    Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific field that is concerned with the study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie cognition, [1] with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes.

  8. Outline of neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_neuroscience

    Systems neuroscience is a subdiscipline of neuroscience which studies the function of neural circuits and systems. It is an umbrella term, encompassing a number of areas of study concerned with how nerve cells behave when connected together to form neural networks.

  9. Development of the nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_nervous...

    The vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) is derived from the ectoderm—the outermost germ layer of the embryo. A part of the dorsal ectoderm becomes specified to neural ectoderm – neuroectoderm that forms the neural plate along the dorsal side of the embryo.
