  2. Neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron

    Motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord to control everything from muscle contractions [3] to glandular output. Interneurons connect neurons to other neurons within the same region of the brain or spinal cord. When multiple neurons are functionally connected together, they form what is called a neural circuit.

  3. Artificial neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_neuron

    Artificial neuron structure. An artificial neuron is a mathematical function conceived as a model of a biological neuron in a neural network. The artificial neuron is the elementary unit of an artificial neural network. [1] The design of the artificial neuron was inspired by biological neural circuitry.

  4. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    Brain structures that are not on the midplane exist in pairs; for example, there are two hippocampi and two amygdalae. The cells of the brain include neurons and supportive glial cells. There are more than 86 billion neurons in the brain, and a more or less equal number of other cells.

  5. Neural circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_circuit

    A neural circuit is a population of neurons interconnected by synapses to carry out a specific function when activated. [1] Multiple neural circuits interconnect with one another to form large scale brain networks. [2] Neural circuits have inspired the design of artificial neural networks, though there are significant differences.

  6. Neural network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network

    A neural network is a group of interconnected units called neurons that send signals to one another. Neurons can be either biological cells or mathematical models. While individual neurons are simple, many of them together in a network can perform complex tasks. There are two main types of neural network.

  7. Interneuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron

    Relay interneurons have long axons and connect circuits of neurons in one region of the brain with those in other regions. [5] However, interneurons are generally considered to operate mainly within local brain areas. [6] The interaction between interneurons allows the brain to perform complex functions such as learning and decision-making.

  8. Cerebral organoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_organoid

    A flask containing human cerebral organoids. A neural, or brain organoid, describes an artificially grown, in vitro, tissue resembling parts of the human brain.Neural organoids are created by culturing pluripotent stem cells into a three-dimensional culture that can be maintained for years.

  9. Neural network (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network_(biology)

    In their work, both thoughts and body activity resulted from interactions among neurons within the brain. Computer simulation of the branching architecture of the dendrites of pyramidal neurons [6] For Bain, [4] every activity led to the firing of a certain set of neurons. When activities were repeated, the connections between those neurons ...
