For example, some neurons responded only when a set of neurons was activated few tens of milliseconds after the other set of neurons.
Our skin has a set of neurons, common to all mammals, that respond to light stroking, but not to any other kind of touch.
The authors of this study ablated a set of neurons constituting a CREB-biased auditory fear memory trace and demonstrated that those neurons were needed for recall.
"Our results suggest the presence of a set of neurons in the adult human brain that respond selectively to music.
The answer, from Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty Liqun Luo and Karl Deisseroth and Undergraduate Summer Research Program participant Michael Chen, lies in a set of neurons that make life unpleasant for those behind on fluid intake.
In the mid-nineties, Ramachandran read a paper by Italian researchers who had discovered that a set of neurons in the frontal lobes of monkeys fired not only when the monkeys reached for an object but also when they observed another monkey performing the same action.
A third kind of code that is used by perceptual systems to represent learned information is a change in the relative timing of responses made by a set of neurons.
A major breakthrough in understanding this phenomenon, known as population coding, came in 1986, when Apostolos Georgopoulos, Andrew Schwartz, and Ronald Kettner at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine learned how a set of neurons in the motor cortex of monkeys encoded the direction in which a monkey moves a limb.
The deeper answer, a team of Stanford biologists and neuroscientists write in a paper in Science, lies in a set of neurons deep in the brain whose job it is to make life unpleasant for those who've gotten behind on their fluid intake.
Furthermore, these studies identified a set of neurons which form boutons onto motor neurons in multiple motor pools, providing a premotor substrate for orofacial coordination.
