Neurons in a sentence

More complex systems will have more layers of neurons, some having increased layers of input neurons and output neurons.

Second-level visual neurons receive input from groups of primary receptors, higher-level neurons receive input from groups of second-level neurons, and so on, forming a hierarchy of processing stages.

The cells in the brain that control thinking are called neurons, and in patients with neurodegenerative disease, the function of neurons gets disrupted.

After being weighted and transformed by a function (determined by the network's designer), the activations of these neurons are then passed on to other neurons.

A number of specialized types of neurons exist: sensory neurons respond to touch, sound, light and numerous other stimuli affecting cells of the sensory organs that then send signals to the spinal cord and brain.

Each of the 10 11 (one hundred billion) neurons has on average 7,000 synaptic connections to other neurons.

Function Action potential propagation in myelinated neurons is faster than in unmyelinated neurons because of Saltatory conduction.

In C. elegans, males have exactly 383 neurons, while hermaphrodites have exactly 302 neurons.

In certain sensory neurons ( pseudounipolar neurons ), such as those for touch and warmth, the electrical impulse travels along an axon from the periphery to the cell body, and from the cell body to the spinal cord along another branch of the same axon.

In humans and many other mammals, new neurons are created mainly before birth, and the infant brain contains substantially more neurons than the adult brain.

Later born neurons migrate radially into the cortical plate past the deep layer neurons, and become the upper layers (two to four).

Lead causes loss of neurons' myelin sheaths, reduces numbers of neurons, interferes with neurotransmission, and decreases neuronal growth.

Neurons, however, are usually considered the most important cells in the brain. citation The property that makes neurons unique is their ability to send signals to specific target cells over long distances.

Structure details Synapses are functional connections between neurons, or between neurons and other types of cells.

Such nonspiking neurons tend to be sensory neurons or interneurons, because they cannot carry signals long distances.

Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the soma and dendrites; signals to other neurons are transmitted by the axon.

That is, layer VI neurons from one cortical column connect with thalamus neurons that provide input to the same cortical column.

The cortical pyramidal neurons projecting to the striatum are located in layers II-VI, but the most dense projections come from layer V. citation They end mainly on the spines of the spiny neurons.

The interneurons excite the motor neurons, and if the excitation is strong enough, some of the motor neurons generate action potentials, which travel down their axons to the point where they make excitatory synaptic contacts with muscle cells.

The Nissl stain shows the cell bodies of neurons; the Golgi stain shows the dendrites and axons of a random subset of neurons.
