Neural Networks

Meaning

In human physiology, Neural Networks refer to complex, interconnected circuits of neurons within the central and peripheral nervous systems that process and transmit information to govern all physiological and cognitive functions. These networks range from simple reflex arcs to the highly sophisticated circuits responsible for executive function, memory, and emotional regulation. Their integrity is crucial for neuroendocrine control, as they interface directly with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to regulate hormone release. The health and plasticity of these networks are key determinants of overall neurological and hormonal wellness.
