Neuronal circuits

Neuronal circuits are networks of interconnected nerve cells (neurons) that work together to process information and generate responses in the body. These circuits transmit electrical signals, enabling functions like thinking, sensing, movement, and reflexes. When a signal enters a circuit, neurons pass it along through connections called synapses, allowing complex communication. Different circuits are specialized for various tasks, such as controlling muscles or processing smells. Overall, neuronal circuits form the fundamental pathways that underpin our perception, actions, and behaviors through organized, rapid signaling between neurons.
