Principle of Superposition-free Memory - Deep Blue
... processes such as classical conditioning and trial and error learning. A problem with the reference neuron scheme is that large numbers of reference to primary contacts mean a lot of neural wiring. This can be reduced if the system operates on the basis of the party line principle, i.e. if different ...

Nervous System WS (handed out after section exam)
... The myelin sheath is responsible for saltatory conduction / transmission. This is where the electrical impulses jump from one node of Ranvier to the next node. This increases the speed of the nerve impulse. The speed increases because the myelin sheath acts as an insulator, preventing ion loss f ...
