Talk:Neural circuit

message: In the description of the electrochemical mechanisms responsible for precluding the backpropagation of AP's along the axon toward the soma, you neglect to mention the involvement of voltage-gated potassium channels, instead choosing to focus exclusively on sodium. Might you consider mentioning the role of K+ channels in engaging repolarization and undershoot, creating the time-delay that helps prevent backfiring? Or would that be more than this article needs to cover?
:I'm not sure of the terminology in neuroscience literature, but the papers I read that focus on the biophysics of neuronal nets use backpropagation to refer to the propagation of an action potential back through the dendritic arbor, which does occur in some areas of the brain and has been observed since the 1950s. See neural backpropagation for details. In the meantime, I will add a clarifying paragraph. SamuelRiv (talk) 00:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Potassium channels? 

message: The opening sentence reads terribly. Contrast this:
   "In neuroscience, a neural network is a bit of conceptual juggernaut: the conceptual transition from neuroanatomy, a rigorously descriptive discipline of observed structure, to the designation of the parameters delimiting a 'network' can be problematic." as an opening sentence, with a possible alternative introduction:
   "In neuroscience, a neural network is a population of neurons whose inputs or signalling targets define a recognizable circuit."
Does anyone else agree? AdamSebWolf 00:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Serious issues with first paragraph 

message: Newer research by the physicists Thomas Heimburg and Andrew Jackson at the University of Copenhagen, the neural impulses are made of sound, not electricity. The elctricity is just a bi-product. Maybe worth to mention in the article. 217.68.114.116 (talk) 15:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there's already mention on WP. See soliton model. Also, you have the wrong idea about the importance of electricity in the model - they make no statement of the sort that ion currents are a byproduct. Finally, it has not yet been applied to network models. SamuelRiv (talk) 22:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I don't think that the lead sentence should have "neural network" in bold, and I do think it should be blue-linked later in the lead, because Neural network is currently a separate standalone page, in addition to Neural network (disambiguation). I'm not convinced that it should be a separate page, however. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:34, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Have made changes. Re the stand alone page - think that was done to prevent the neural network page defaulting to artificial neural network - so its removal now would probably be OK. --Iztwoz (talk) 08:04, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, good. As for Neural network, what do you think would be best? Would a merge and redirect be appropriate? --Tryptofish (talk) 19:15, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I think that will resolve things.Thanks --Iztwoz (talk) 07:08, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

message: So does that above phrase imply that general intelligence networks are not networks? Perhaps meta-networks? But that is doesn't seem accepted terminology. So it seems when staying in commonly accepted terminology one would conclude that general neuronal nets are also networks. 2A02:3036:2E0:26A5:C5E1:7EAB:1ADE:433D (talk) 09:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
