Questions and Answers

What is a neural circuit in the brain?

  • A group of neurons that work together to process information. (correct)
  • A specific area of the brain responsible for emotional regulation.
  • A sequence of muscle movements coordinated by the brain.
  • A type of neurotransmitter that facilitates communication between neurons.

    • What is a microcircuit in the brain?

  • A small, localized network of neurons that processes specific information. (correct)
  • A large-scale network connecting different brain regions.
  • An electrical circuit used to study brain activity.
  • A type of brain scan that visualizes neural pathways.

    • What is a cortical neuron?

  • A type of neuron located in the brain's cortex responsible for processing sensory information. (correct)
  • A type of neuron found only in the spinal cord.
