Afferent Neuron An afferent neuron is essentially a sensory data transport system. They are completely separate from the control neurons, and run in tight bundles in the nerve pathways throughout the body. They transmit sensory signals to the brain, informing it of the outside world. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

In neuroprosthetics, rather than guide the electrodes to neuron dendrites, why not guide neuron dendrites to the electrodes? 
On the sixth of June 2005, the most ambitious project to date for brain research was launched. Its mission: to recreate a human brain in simulation, neuron for neuron, connection for connection. Then, turn it on, and give it stimulai, to see what happens.

Neurons in the brain communicate by short electrical pulses, the so-called action potentials or spikes. How can we understand the process of spike generation? How can we understand information transmission by neurons? What happens if thousands of neurons are coupled together in a seemingly random network? How does the network connectivity determine the activity patterns?
