Neural circuit

A neural circuit is a population of neurons interconnected by synapses to carry out a specific function when activated.

A group of connected neurons is called a neural circuit.

Biological neural networks have inspired the design of artificial neural networks, but artificial neural networks are usually not strict copies of their biological counterparts.

Artificial neural networks (ANN) or connectionist systems are computing systems that are inspired by, but not identical to, biological neural networks that constitute animal brains.

Biological neural networks have inspired the design of artificial neural networks, but artificial neural networks are usually not strict copies of their biological counterparts.

Thus a neural network is either a biological neural network, made up of real biological neurons, or an artificial neural network, for solving artificial intelligence (AI) problems.

In 1959, the neuroscientists, Warren Sturgis McCulloch and Walter Pitts published the first works on the processing of neural networks.

It is a multidisciplinary branch of biology that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, mathematical modeling and psychology to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons and neural circuits.

The basic kinds of connections between neurons are synapses: both chemical and electrical synapses.

Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system.

Simplified models of biological neurons were set up, now usually called perceptrons or artificial neurons.

This situation is partly the result of the many different experimental settings, and the difficulty to separate the intrinsic properties of a single neuron from measurements effects and interactions of many cells (network effects).

On the electrophysiological level, there are various phenomena which alter the response characteristics of individual synapses (called synaptic plasticity) and individual neurons (intrinsic plasticity).

Since memories are postulated to be represented by vastly interconnected neural circuits in the brain, synaptic plasticity is one of the important neurochemical foundations of learning and memory (see Hebbian theory).

Usually the term "neuroplasticity" refers to changes in the brain that are caused by activity or experience.

The adult brain is not entirely "hard-wired" with fixed neuronal circuits.

Another is the Papez circuit linking the hypothalamus to the limbic lobe.

The Papez circuit, or medial limbic circuit, is a neural circuit for the control of emotional expression.

There are several neural circuits in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop.

The cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop (CBGTC loop) is a system of neural circuits in the brain.

An example of a neural circuit is the trisynaptic circuit in the hippocampus.

The trisynaptic circuit is a neural circuit in the hippocampus, which is made up of three major cell groups: granule cells in the dentate gyrus, pyramidal neurons in CA3, and pyramidal neurons in CA1.

Neural circuits in the spinal cord called central pattern generators are responsible for controlling motor instructions involved in rhythmic behaviours.

It is also the location of groups of spinal interneurons that make up the neural circuits known as central pattern generators.

The largest structure within the basal ganglia, the striatum, is seen as having its own internal microcircuitry.

The ventral striatum is associated with the limbic system and has been implicated as a vital part of the circuitry for decision making and reward-related behavior.

An example of a neural circuit is the trisynaptic circuit in the hippocampus.

Both parts are of similar composition but belong to different neural circuits.

sensory and other information is represented in the brain by networks of neurons, it is thought that neurons can encode both digital and analog information.

These circuits carry information between the cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, and back to the cortex.

The two segments participate in distinct neural circuits.

Another is the Papez circuit linking the hypothalamus to the limbic lobe.

In 1937 Papez theorized that a neural circuit (the Papez circuit) including the hippocampal formation and the cingulate gyrus constitutes the neural substrate of emotional behavior, and Klüver and Bucy reported that, in monkeys, resection involving the hippocampal formation and the amygdaloid complex has a profound effect on emotional responses.

Apart from intrinsic properties of neurons, biological neural network properties are also an important source of oscillatory activity.

A neural circuit is a population of neurons interconnected by synapses to carry out a specific function when activated. The basic kinds of connections between neurons are synapses: both chemical and electrical synapses.

Neural circuits interconnect to one another to form large scale brain networks.

Early treatments of neural networks can be found in Herbert Spencer's Principles of Psychology, 3rd edition (1872), Theodor Meynert's Psychiatry (1884), William James' Principles of Psychology (1890), and Sigmund Freud's Project for a Scientific Psychology (composed 1895).
