A scientist who wants to know more about how neurons are organized,how they communicate in varying combinations,and how they are involved in producing different patterns of behavior will most likely focus her research on ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural networks are specifically concerned with how neurons are organized and communicate in varying combinations to produce different patterns of behavior. This encompasses the scientist's research interests. Feedback systems refer to mechanisms that regulate or adjust a system's output, neurotransmitters refer to chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons, and postsynaptic potentials are changes in the electrical potential of a postsynaptic neuron due to the binding of neurotransmitters to receptors. Although these concepts are related to neural networks, they do not fully encompass the scientist's research interests.
