Neural circuit

Anatomy of a multipolar neuron

A neural circuit is a population of neurons interconnected by synapses to carry out a specific function when activated.[1] Multiple neural circuits interconnect with one another to form large scale brain networks.[2]

Neural circuits have inspired the design of artificial neural networks, though there are significant differences.
