Introduction: Nervous system is the part of the body system that is controlling the actions of the body. Body parts interact with each other and to the environment with the help of the nervous system. The summation is the process of collecting all the incoming and outgoing signals in the body and to generate a particular response.

- What is a neural pathway?arrow_forward31. Elon Musk has hired you as the chief neuroscientist for Neuralink! He knows distressingly little about the brain and wants you to figure out how to implement some of his ideas. First, he'd like you to improve the state of Neuralink's implants for controlling prosthetic limbs and other external devices. Rather than collect information about individual motor commands, where should the implant be placed to collect information about high-level movement goals? a. Parietal cortex b. Spinal cord c. Primary motor cortex d. Hypothalamus e. Hippocampusarrow_forwardHow do single neurons contribute to brain computation?arrow_forward
- Distinguish between convergence and divergence.arrow_forwardIs the shape of the lateral geniculate nucleus mostly similar in the mouse brain, or does it look different compared to the sheep brain? What about the size of the brain area relative to the total size of the brain? Is the brain area larger, smaller, or about the same size as it is in the sheep brain? *This is only one question, just asked in different ways for detail. Thanks in advance. Basically, I would like to know if brain parts differ from size (proportion) between mammals. In this case, the size between a sheep or mouse brain.arrow_forwardWhat do Neural pathways include?arrow_forward
