A nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of a nerve
Brain plasticity is also known as neuroplasticity. It is the ability of the brain to modify itself by forming neural connections.

Artificial neural networks are computational models inspired by an animal's central nervous systems (in particular the brain) which is capable of machine learning as well as pattern recognition. They work by neurons continuously evaluating their output by looking at their inputs, calculating the weighted sum and comparing to a threshold to decide if they should fire.

The cells found in the human body are eukaryotic cells. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular like humans. Organisms that have prokaryotic cells are usually unicelluar, like bacteria.
Neural tissue is formed by neural stem cells, which are progenitor cells found in the nervous system. These stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various types of neural cells like neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, ultimately forming the intricate network of the nervous system.
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
Neurons originate from neural stem cells in the developing embryo, primarily in the neural tube.
Neural crest cells give rise to a variety of cell types, including neurons, glial cells, melanocytes, and certain types of connective tissue. They migrate from the dorsal neural tube during embryonic development to populate different regions of the body. Ultimately, the derivatives of neural crest cells contribute to the formation of structures like the peripheral nervous system, facial bones, and pigment cells in the skin.
The neural tube is a structure that forms during early embryonic development and eventually develops into the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. The neural crest, on the other hand, is a group of cells that arise from the edges of the neural tube and migrate to various parts of the body, giving rise to diverse structures such as peripheral nerves, skin pigment cells, and certain facial features. Both the neural tube and neural crest are crucial for proper neural development and the formation of the nervous system.
The neural tube is the embryonic predecessor of the brain and spinal cord. Which means, most of what it "does" is develop into a brain and spinal cord. The neural tube is initially formed almost exclusively of stem and progenitor cells. Over time, these stem and progenitor cells adopt specific identities and begin to differentiate neurons and later glial cells and these cells begin forming neural circuits. By the time the neural tube has developed to a point where it is capable of carrying out rudimentary neurological functions, the nomenclature is generally changed to brain and spinal cord rather than neural tube.
The receptor cells that convert light energy into neural signals are called photoreceptor cells. These cells are located in the retina of the eye and are responsible for producing electrical signals in response to light stimulation.
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons and supporting cells called neuroglial. The neuroglial are unspecialized cells and are able to perform supporting functions unlike the neurons which are used in key functions.

Cells that are the same form tissues. Muscle cells form muscle tissue.
Neural convergence refers to the phenomenon of multiple sensory receptors giving information to a smaller number of neural cells. For example, in the retinal periphery, many photoreceptors converge on a smaller number of ganglion cells so that the brain doesn't have to process inputs from each photoreceptor.
Neural means "of or relating to the nerves, neurons, or nervous system".
