Individual neurons connect to other neurons to stimulate or inhibit their activity, forming circuits that can process incoming information and carry out a response. Neuronal circuits can be very …

Neuroscientists are making great strides in identifying the neural processes that make a difference to particular phenomenally conscious experiences. But this is just one piece of the puzzle.

Information from sensory receptors is transmitted, or passed along, nerve cells to the brain. The brain processes, or organizes, information from different sensory receptors. The brain can …

In the central nervous system, neurons start as neural stem cells, which turn into most of the cell types of the central nervous system. And these neural stem cells then differentiate into cells …

And it’s in our best interests that this action-reaction process goes quickly – so that we can catch ourselves as we fall, or shut our eyes tight. The process of sending these signals takes place …

Neural (nervous system) control and hormonal control - these extrinsic mechanisms can override renal autoregulation and decrease the glomerular filtration rate when necessary.

In this video, you'll learn how AI scientists built artificial neural networks that can gather information from various sources and synthesize them into an insight, and how additional …

The notochord causes the ectoderm above it to form a thick flat plate of cells called the neural plate. The neural plate extends the length of the rostral-caudal axis. The neural plate then …

Action potentials (those electrical impulses that send signals around your body) are nothing more than a temporary shift (from negative to positive) in the neuron’s membrane potential caused …

Functionally related neurons connect to form neural networks (also known as neural nets or assemblies). The connections between neurons are not static, though, they change over time. …
