Within psychology and neuroscience, the traditional brain, which has made brief appearances in sociological research, is a “bottom–up” processor in which sensory signals are passed up the neural hierarchy where they are eventually cognitively and emotionally processed, after which actions and ...
Starting from the second trimester, the formation of neural tube (neurulation) as well as the generation of neurons (neurogenesis) are for the most part completed. Since the 15th Post Conceptional Week (PCW), the brain structure starts to assume its human-specific configuration, with the ganglio...

Our awareness of smells is primarily unconscious. 38 But, low-level smells are still picked up because the scent receptors( 感受器) in our brain are so powerful that we unconsciously register them. In fact, various studies have found the olfactory bulb sends more neurons(神经元) to more area...
, automated decision-making and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems (such as chess and Go).[2] As machines become increasingly capable, tasks considered to require "intelligence" are often removed from the definition of AI, a phenomenon known as the AI effect.[3] For ...
One can, however, note when the bibliography in a publication does not mention any of the books or review articles about the use of factor analysis in either psychology or neuroscience-like the widely cited 800+ page tome by J.B. Carroll entitled Human Cognitive Abilities: A Survey of ...
Moreover, viral stimuli and higher immune activity can have a degrading effect on developing neurons and prevent axon and dendrite growth, further affecting synapse formations [50]. Similarly, TLR activation can have a deleterious effect on brain development in the foetus or later in life. It ...
The most well-known theory describing the mechanisms of synaptic plasticity for the adaptation of neurons to external stimuli was first proposed by Hebb (1949), postulating that when one neuron drives the activity of another neuron, the connection between them is strengthened. More specifically, the...
1996) that there are neurons in the macaque brain that selectively fire both when the monkey is executing an action and when it is merely observing its execution by others was groundbreaking: it showed for the first time that actions can be coded by individual neurons on a level that generali...
