The Endocrine System
... The endocrine system consists of cells, tissues and organs that synthesize and secrete hormones directly into blood and lymph capillaries. By contrast to exocrine glands, such as the salivary, mammary, and sweat glands, which pour their secretions onto a surface of the body by means of ducts, the en ...

Linear associator
... In the linear associator, two layers of neurons (layers “f “and “g”) each receive external sensory input. In addition, the neurons of one layer “feed forward” onto the other; that is, there are synapses from f to g, but not from g to f. This organization, along with the application of a Hebbian lear ...
