A neuron is a cell which is part of the nervous system. Neurons send messages to and from the brain. Information is transferred along each neuron by means of an electrical impulse. see also motor neurone disease. a type of cell that makes up the nervous system and sends messages to other parts of the body or the brain = nerve cell. or nerve cell Any of the cells of the nervous system. Sensory neurons relay information from sense organs, motor neurons carry impulses to muscles and glands, and interneurons transmit impulses between sensory and motor neurons. A typical neuron consists of dendrites (fibres that receive stimuli and conduct them inward), a cell body (a nucleated body that receives input from dendrites), and an axon (a fibre that relays the nerve impulse from the cell body outward to its terminals, the synaptic knobs). Both axons and dendrites may be referred to as nerve fibres. Impulses are conducted by neurotransmitter chemicals released by the axon's synaptic knobs across the synapses (junctions between neurons or between a neuron and an effector cell, such as a muscle cell) or, in some cases, pass directly from one neuron to the next. Most neurons are insulated by a myelin sheath formed by cells (Schwann cells) surrounding the axons. Bundles of fibres from neurons held together by connective tissue form nerves
One of the electrically active cells that transmit signals within the brain or nervous system
Your brain is made up nerve cells called neurons Neurons are the building blocks of your brain They are constantly communicating with each other The connections among the billions of neurons in all the different parts of your brain is what makes your brain work Your brain is estimated to have 100 billion neurons You can't grow new neurons so take care of the ones that you have
refers to: neuron layer, neural net An element of a neural net's neuron layer see also: activation function, threshold
The basic processing element of a neural network Includes weights and bias, a summing junction and an output transfer function Artificial neurons, such as those simulated and trained with this toolbox, are abstractions of biological neurons
Neurons are the nerve cells which make up the central nervous system They consist of a nucleus, a single axon which conveys electrical signals to other neurons and a host of dendrites which deliver incoming signals
