NEURAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
is one theory of brain development that implies cognitive development results as a balance between the neural substrates and environment…
NEURAL CREST
is found on either side of a neural tube, in embryos which consist of ectodermal tissues. Neural crests later develop…
NEURAL DARWINISM
was first proposed by U.S. neuroscientist Gerald M. Edelman (1929 - ) in 1987, in which he explained his biological…
NEURAL FOLDS
are formed when ridges of ectodermal tissue fuse together to form the neural tubing.
NEURAL INDUCTION
describes the influence of a single neuron or collection of neurons exerted on the development of other cells.
NEURAL INTEGRATION
is the algebraic representation and summation of any excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potentials which govern the potential for firing in…
NEURAL IRRITABILITY
are classed as jittery neurons because they have a greater sensitivity to action potentials and are therefore more likely to…
NEURAL NETWORK
can be used to map the neuronic structure of an individuals or an animals brain, specifically their neuron structure. These…
NEURAL NETWORKS
are typically structured of a variety of layers, the input layer (where properties are input), any middle processing layers (information…
NEURAL PARENCHYMA
are distinct tissues from other structural or supporting elements of the nervous system which are essential to the functioning of…
NEURAL PATHWAY
describes any route which is followed by a nerve impulse which travels through either the central or peripheral nerve fibres…
NEURAL PLASTICITY
otherwise known as neuroplasticity, this is the ability for a neuron to adapt and change in response to a stimulus…
NEURAL PLATE
is a region of tissue found in the ectoderm layer on the dorsal surface of an embryo. This neural plate…
NEURAL QUANTUM THEORY
is a theory of stimulation and response which is based primarily on the all-or-none law of neural activity in that…
NEURAL REGENERATION
typically occurs at an incredibly slow rate due to various physiological problems, but otherwise it is the rejuvenation or repair…
NEURAL RETINA,
see also amacrine cells- retinal bipolar cells- retinal horizontal cells- retinal ganglion cells.
NEURAL SATIATION
is the tendency for a neuron to respond weakly after the conductance of a strong stimulation.
NEURAL SUBSTRATE
one of the parts of the central nervous system which regulates a specific behaviour.
NEURAL TUBE
are formed when folds or ridges of the neural plate curl over and fuse together. The cavity, or space inside…
