Nerve Net - Physiology
Research News and Information

Definition of 'Nerve Net'

A meshlike structure composed of interconnecting nerve cells that are separated at the synaptic junction or joined to one another by cytoplasmic processes. In invertebrates, for example, the nerve net allows nerve impulses to spread over a wide area of the net because synapses can pass information in any direction.

Common names: Nerve Net; Nerve Nets; Net, Nerve; Nets, Nerve; Neural Networks (Anatomic); Network, Neural (Anatomic); Networks, Neural (Anatomic); Neural Network (Anatomic)

Selective targeting of the dendrites of corticothalamic cells by thalamic afferents in area 17 of the cat.

2 Nov 2009 Pyramidal cells of layer 6 in cat visual cortex are the source of the corticothalamic projection, and their recurrent collaterals provide substantially more excitatory synapses in layer 4 than does the thalamic input. They have predominantly simple ... Read more...


From neurons to circuits: linear estimation of local field potentials.

2 Nov 2009 Extracellular physiological recordings are typically separated into two frequency bands: local field potentials (LFPs) (a circuit property) and spiking multiunit activity (MUA). Recently, there has been increased interest in LFPs because of their ... Read more...


Theta oscillations provide temporal windows for local circuit computation in the entorhinal-hippocampal loop.

27 Oct 2009 Theta oscillations are believed to play an important role in the coordination of neuronal firing in the entorhinal (EC)-hippocampal system but the underlying mechanisms are not known. We simultaneously recorded from neurons in multiple regions of ... Read more...
