    • : Cell Biology. a specialized, impulse-conducting cell that is the functional unit of the nervous system, consisting of the cell body and its processes, the axon and dendrites.

Examples

  • One relies on the neuron, which determines based on input whether it should “fire”—that is, pass on the data to its neighbor.

  • For example, this might arise from the way that huge numbers of neurons organize themselves into groups, which then form larger regions that work together.

  • Similarly, he introduced the term neuron before scientists had even reached agreement on whether such cells existed.

  • This holds rather unnerving implications, in that the neurons solely reflect someone else’s specific perspective—your perspective, or the truth, doesn’t come into play.

  • Deep learning algorithms work by getting layers of artificial neurons to learn increasingly complex features of an image or other data type, which are then used to categorize new data.

  • Aren't all facts, at the neuron and synapse level, really the same?

  • Hawking, 71, has been suffering from the debilitating motor neuron disease ALS for half a century.

  • The current issue of Neuron features a new study on selective memory erasure.

  • These are transferred from neuron to neuron through the synapse.

  • Even though the peripheral neuron may be suffering to some extent, this is true.

  • The contact of the axon of one neuron with the dendrons of another is called a synapse.

  • That is not a loss of memory but a failure of neuron connections.

  • Every efferent neuron in his system carried the message full power.
