Neural clique
Neural clique is a term used in neuroscience to describe a group of neurons that are interconnected and work together to perform a specific function. The concept of neural cliques is a key component of neural network theory, which seeks to understand how the brain processes information.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Neural cliques are groups of neurons that are interconnected and work together to perform a specific function. These cliques can range in size from a few neurons to several thousand. The concept of neural cliques is a key component of neural network theory, which seeks to understand how the brain processes information.
Function[edit | edit source]
Neural cliques are thought to play a crucial role in many aspects of brain function, including perception, memory, and learning. They are believed to be the basic units of information processing in the brain, with each clique representing a specific piece of information or concept.
Research[edit | edit source]
Research into neural cliques has been driven by advances in neuroimaging techniques, which have allowed scientists to visualize the activity of individual neurons and groups of neurons in the brain. This research has provided valuable insights into the structure and function of neural cliques, and has led to the development of new theories about how the brain processes information.
