Neural networks refer to
A) the branching extensions of a neuron.
B) interrelated clusters of neurons in the central nervous system.
C) neural cables containing many axons.
D) junctions between sending and receiving neurons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural networks refer to interrelated clusters of neurons in the central nervous system. These networks are responsible for processing and transmitting information throughout the body, allowing for complex behaviors and cognitive functions. While a neuron's branching extensions (answer A) and neural cables containing many axons (answer C) are components of the nervous system, they do not specifically refer to neural networks. Junctions between sending and receiving neurons (answer D) are known as synapses, which play a role in transmitting information between neurons, but again, do not specifically refer to neural networks.
