Does you body emit energy?
Yes, some tiny amount of energy as a consequence of electrochemical neural processes, but mostly infrared heat energy.
What is another word for brain waves?
cranium rollercoasters
The speed at which a neural impulse travels is increased when the axon is encased by an?
myelin sheath
What are the function of fat in the body?
Fat is use as energy storage in our body. It is a major component part of our cells, our brain and neural system are made of fat so as the cell wall. Fat is hydrophobic and the body use it to cover our skin prevent evaporation loss of water.
What is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
basilar membranes
Functions of sensory receptor?
Sensory receptors translate physical energy into neural signals.
Transduction is the process of converting physical stimuli into?
Neural impulses
Neuron that integrates the neural information?
Interneurons
Where can one find information on artificial neural network?
An artificial neural network is a mathematical model inspired by biological neural networks. One can find more information about this subject online at Learn Artificial Neural Networks, Computer World, and Wikipedia.
What is neural coding?
Neural coding refers to the pathways and transformations needed to relay sensory information into the nervous system.
Changing physical stimulus to neural stimulus?
A physical stimulus is transformed into a neural stimulus when the sensation is received by the sensory nerves. For example, the pain of right cross punch is felt when the nerves at the impact site fire.
What is The process of translating information into neural language that will be retained in memory?
encoding
What part of a neuron that relays a neural information?
The synapse. See my answer for What_type_of_signal_is_taking_place_during_neuron_to_neuron_communication
Does you body emit energy?
Yes, some tiny amount of energy as a consequence of electrochemical neural processes, but mostly infrared heat energy.
The receptor cells that convert light energy into neural signals are called?
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.
What does a sensory system include?
A sensory system includes the sensory receptors, neural pathways, and the parts of the brain which are involved in sensory perception. The senses act as the transducers from the physical world to the mind where the information gathered by the senses is interpreted.
The simultaneous distribution of information across different neural pathways is known as?
prallel processing
