If you want to make information stick, it's best to learn it, go away from it for a while, come back to it later, leave it behind again, and once again return to it - to engage with it deeply across time. Our memories naturally degrade, but each time you return to a memory, you reactivate its neural network and help to lock it in.

American Journalist

Stephen Hawking

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories.

A brain scan may reveal the neural signs of anxiety, but a Kokoschka painting, or a Schiele self-portrait, reveals what an anxiety state really feels like. Both perspectives are necessary if we are to fully grasp the nature of the mind, yet they are rarely brought together.

Practicing is not only playing your instrument, either by yourself or rehearsing with others - it also includes imagining yourself practicing. Your brain forms the same neural connections and muscle memory whether you are imagining the task or actually doing it.

American Musician

Now that neural nets work, industry and government have started calling neural nets AI. And the people in AI who spent all their life mocking neural nets and saying they'd never do anything are now happy to call them AI and try and get some of the money.

British Psychologist

Kate Atkinson

When I'm writing, my neural pathways get blocked. I can't read. I can barely hold a conversation without forgetting words and names. I wish I could wear the same clothes and eat the same food each day.

English Author

Sergey Brin

Having been trained as a computer scientist in the '90s, everybody knew that AI didn't work. People tried it. They tried neural nets, and none of it worked.

American Businessman

Michael Gove

It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.

All novels attempt to cut neural routes through the brain, to convince us that down this road the true future of the novel lies.

British Novelist

Deep neural networks are responsible for some of the greatest advances in modern computer science.

Understand that 'neural' describes anything linked to the body's nervous system, like nerves and brain functions.

Biology Connection

'Neural' is often used when talking about medical conditions, treatments or research related to the nervous system.

Health Context

In scientific circles, 'neural' carries an academic tone and is common in discussions about biology or neuroscience.

Scientific Jargon

'Neural' relates to AI systems that mimic how human brains work by recognizing patterns and learning from them.

Artificial Intelligence

'Neural' is a buzzword in technology, especially when talking about cutting-edge computing or machine learning.

Tech Innovation

In computing, 'neural' implies advanced complexity, akin to the brain's network of neurons.

 The endocrine system is a series of glands that use information carried by the nervous system to help regulate the body's processes Thanks to this neural connection endocrine glands such as the thyroid are aware of the amount of hormones and other chemicals They need to produce these chemicals are then distributed throughout the body by way of the cardiovascular system the

 Thanks to the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, new synaptic buds are formed, allowing new connections between neurons, and strengthening the neural network where the information will be returned as long-term memory. So why do we remember some things and not others? Well, there are a few ways to influence

 This process is important because our neural pathways serve as a map for everything we do. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, scientists have discovered that the brain's pruning ability is disrupted in people with bipolar disorder. That means their neurons go haywire
