Synapses, (A Bit of) Biological Neural Networks – Part II

pyrimidal neurons

Synapses are the couplings between neurons, allowing signals to pass from one neuron to another. However, synapses are much more than mere relays: they play an important role in neural computation. The ongoing dramas of excitation and inhibition and of synaptic potentiation and depression give rise to your abilities to make decisions, learn, and remember. … Continue reading “Synapses, (A Bit of) Biological Neural Networks – Part II”
