■ ADJECTIVE
cortical
▪
They increased their number of synapses per cortical neuron by 80 percent.
▪
Some cortical neurons prefer horizontal white lines; others respond best to vertical ones.
▪
Of course, another group of cortical neurons become active at that point.
▪
The fourth-layer cortical neurons receiving that thalamic input send most of their outputs up to the second and third layers of cortex.
▪
Still other cortical neurons seem to like edges, such as a sky-sea boundary.
▪
In any event, relatively few cortical neurons are lost after reaching adulthood.
▪
An average cortical neuron has an axon with perhaps 10, 000 side branches.
motor
▪
In muscles where motor neuron contact is delayed, gluR clustering at neuromuscular contact sites is similarly delayed.
▪
The brain has sensory receptors for input and motor neurons for output.
sensory
▪
There are three classes of sensory neurons which respond to three different classes of objects.
▪
Rather, the axons of the sensory neurons carry impulses back into the spinal cord.
▪
The nervous control of the gill withdrawal reflex is a simple unit of one sensory neuron and one motor neuron.
▪
When the sensory neuron is stimulated, it fires the motor neuron, and the siphon and gills are withdrawn.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
And a stroke that suddenly killed perhaps 30 percent of the neurons in the motor strip would also cause paralysis.
▪
First, I can't see that neurons have anything special going for them that silicon doesn't.
▪
In some geniculate neurons, the center-surround organization simply disappears.
▪
Long-term memories probably are fixed in some structural change in neurons, such as synapse size.
▪
Studies of the finer detail show that each major zone includes several types of neurons and a great variety of nervous connections.
▪
The second is that these neurons must not be involved in any other task.
▪
The traffic of ions into and out of neurons underlies their capacity to generate and transmit electrical signals.
▪
To anticipate something to come in this inquiry, an ordinary definition of the neuron is an example.
