Neural circuitry

Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or just plasticity, is the medium of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and rewire its neural connections, enabling it to adapt and function in ways that differ from its prior state. This process can occur in response to learning new skills, experiencing environmental changes, recovering from injuries, or adapting to sensory or cognitive deficits. Such adaptability highlights the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the brain, even into adulthood. T

network or circuit of neurons

brainwaves, repetitive patterns of neural activity in the central nervous system

the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity

large-scale brain network, active when one is not focused on the outside world and the brain is at wakeful rest (e.g. daydreaming), and also while thinking about others, thinking about oneself, remembering the past, and planning for the future

EEG waveform that occurs during sleep

connection formed between neurons to transfer signals throughout the nervous system

method by which information is represented in the brain

group of neurons in the cortex of the brain

collection of widespread brain regions showing functional connectivity by statistical analysis of the fMRI BOLD signal or other signal fluctuations

phenomenon in which after the action potential of a neuron creates a voltage spike down the axon

Large scale brain network of the human brain, composed of the anterior insula and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which is involved in detecting and filtering salient stimuli, as well as in recruiting relevant functional networks

large scale brain network involved in sustained attention
