Nervous System Outline
... b. Motor - As information is carried to muscles and glands in order to have a response, it must travel along motor neurons. They carry motor, or movement, information away from the CNS. 1-Somatic - If that motor information is going to skeletal muscles, such as a Biceps muscle, it travels in a somat ...

Simple model of spiking neurons
... To understand how the brain works, we need to combine experimental studies of animal and human nervous systems with numerical simulation of large-scale brain models. As we develop such large-scale brain models consisting of spiking neurons, we must find compromises between two seemingly mutually exc ...
