Why are some sensory neurons myelinated? What are the two types of synapses/neurons? Describe the differences between them. How are neurons different from every other type of cell? Why are sensory neurons unipolar? What is the diffe...
What types of neurons are used for thinking? (a) What are neurons and neuroglia? (b) How are they different? What is the disinhibition of neurons? What are the different types of nerve cells? What are postganglionic neurons? How many types of neurons are present in the human body? a)...

regulating the size and shape of the body. If these models are correct, the original function of neurons was the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. Neurons still perform these functions, from early embryogenesis through adulthood. We may even, sometimes, be aware of them. Recogni...
The brain is composed of billions of cells that use chemicals and electricity to communicate between themselves and the rest of the body. There are two major types of cells, neurons and glial cells; there are subtypes of these cells.
While it’s true that thousands of new neurons are produced in the brain’s memory center each day and that exercise promotes their generation, those new neurons will just die off if they’re not being used for anything. Animal studies have shown a correlation between acquiring new skills and...

Neural networks are systems, or structures of neurons, that enable AI to better understand data, allowing it to solve complex problems. While there are numerous network types, this series of articles will solely focus on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The main application areas for CNNs ...
Efferent neurons are nerve cells that convey chemical and electrical signals from the brain and spinal cord to the organs, muscles...
