  2. William Ferrel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ferrel

    Ferrel collected data on the tides, and used this to calculate the mass of the moon. [2] In 1880, he proposed to the Superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey a machine which could use data to predict the tidal maxima and minima. He also presented this idea to the American Association for the Advancement of Science later in the same year. [2]

    In April 2018, the first data set from the project was released, representing 530,000 immune system cells collected from bone marrow and cord blood. [ 11 ] A research program at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics published an atlas of the cells of the liver , using single-cell RNA sequencing on 10,000 normal cells ...

    Thus, these cells can be conceptualized as forming an imaginary ring, with each cell exciting cells coding for its own or neighboring directions, and suppressing cells coding for other directions. A key insight provided by these models was that the topology of the orientation selectivity (the ring) came from internal connections, while external ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_organizational...

    A non-biological entity with a cellular organizational structure (also known as a cellular organization, cellular system, nodal organization, nodal structure, et cetera) is set up in such a way that it mimics how natural systems within biology work, with individual 'cells' or 'nodes' working somewhat independently to establish goals and tasks ...

  7. Sensory neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuron

    External receptors that respond to stimuli from outside the body are called exteroreceptors. [4] Exteroreceptors include chemoreceptors such as olfactory receptors and taste receptors, photoreceptors (), thermoreceptors (temperature), nociceptors (), hair cells (hearing and balance), and a number of other different mechanoreceptors for touch and proprioception (stretch, distortion and stress).

  8. Brain cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_cell

    Brain cells make up the functional tissue of the brain. The rest of the brain tissue is the structural stroma that includes connective tissue such as the meninges, blood vessels, and ducts. The two main types of cells in the brain are neurons, also known as nerve cells, and glial cells, also known as neuroglia. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system

    The limbic system, also known as the paleomammalian cortex, is a set of brain structures located on both sides of the thalamus, immediately beneath the medial temporal lobe of the cerebrum primarily in the forebrain.
