What is the role of the neuron?
Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. They play a crucial role in processing and transmitting information within the brain and throughout the body, enabling functions like movement, thought, and sensory perception.
What must your nerve cells undergo to form memories?
Long-term potentation
How do sensory neurons and monitor neurons differ?
Sensory neurons carry sensory information from the body to the brain, while motor neurons carry signals from the brain to the body to control movement. Monitor neurons are specialized neurons that help regulate and coordinate the activity of other neurons in the nervous system.
How does the brain actually perform memory function?
The brain performs memory function through a process involving the formation of new connections between neurons, known as synaptic plasticity. These connections store memories as changes in the strength of synaptic connections, allowing for the encoding, storage, and retrieval of memories. Neurotransmitters and proteins play a crucial role in this process by facilitating communication between neurons and strengthening or weakening synaptic connections.
Do neurons get replaced in the human brain?
No, neurons in the human brain do not typically get replaced. Once neurons are damaged or lost, they are not usually regenerated or replaced by new neurons.
How do our brains go about making memories?
Brains do not necessarily make memories, it is the person who makes the memories and the brain stores it. Brains have a special area dedicated to storing memories, this area is called Hippocampus.
How do a box jellyfish move?
Box jelly fish move by neurons. Neurons are there brains.
How do your brains keep all your memories inside?
cerebrum! dah!
Have bees got brains?
Yes, bees do have a brain. It has around 950,000 neurons compared to the more than a billion neurons in a human brain.
When will doctors strip your membranes?
Only if our brains,memories & wallet Will alow it.
Are pulsars a kind of neuron star?
No, neurons are cells which are found in brains - nothing to do with stars.
By forming thousands of new neurons each day monkey brains illustrate?
neurogenesis
Are intelligent humans have bigger brains?
size of the brain has nothing to do with intelligence. only the capacity of the neurons
Do you get wrinkles in the brain every time you learn something?
We don't start out with wrinkly brains, however; a fetus early in its development has a very smooth little brain. As the fetus grows, its neurons also grow and migrate to different areas of the brain, creating the sulci and gyri. By the time it reaches 40 weeks, its brain is as wrinkled as yours is (albeit smaller, of course). So we don't develop new wrinkles as we learn. The wrinkles we're born with are the wrinkles we have for life, assuming that our brains remain healthy. Our brains do change when we learn -- it's just not in the form of additional sulci and gyri. This phenomenon is known as brain plasticity. By studying changes in the brains of animals like rats as they learn tasks, researchers have discovered that synapses (the connections between neurons) and the blood cells that support neurons grow and increase in number. Some believe that we get new neurons when we make new memories, but this hasn't yet been proven in mammalian brains like ours.
Chemically what are memories?
In the human brain memories are constantly firing neurons. Very basic explanation if you want a more detailed explanation be prepared to read.
What is the base word for memories?
The word "memorial" is derived for the term "memory". Memory is the retained thoughts and acts. Memorials are what retains these thought/acts.
Is it possible that bisexuallity is merely a soul that was the opposite gender in a past life and still retains partial memories of the life?
