Some neuroscience topics to boost AI creativity

Synapse

Synapse is a specialized junction between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle cell, where neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron and received by the postsynaptic neuron, causing a chemical signal to be transmitted across the synaptic cleft: The synaptic cleft is a tiny gap between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons or

Dendrites

Dendrites - short tree-like structured fibers, which extend from the neuron body. They have terminals which together with other incoming axons form synapses. Neuromediators released by axon trigger change of the potential of the post-synaptic terminal. Together dendrites of the neuron can accumulate enough charge and action potential will be produced. Neuromediators released by neighboring axon into

Axon

Axon is an extension of a neural cell which is capable of transmitting signals to other neurons or tissues such as muscle over long distances (from the neuron scale perspective): Receives electrical potential (signal) from the neuron body and transmit it to the dendrites of other neurons. Potential strength (signal strength) passed through axon depends
