Primes¶
- Inhibition
- In neuroscience inhibitory neurons reduce the firing probability of their targets, and inhibition is as much a "signal" as excitation.
This sourceStandard text covering inhibitory neurotransmission and the role of inhibition in lowering target-neuron firing probability.

- Metonymy
- Neuroscience. Neural population coding by adjacent activation: a feature is represented by the neurons that fire near it in a topographic map, with neighbors carrying related referents.
This sourceDescribes topographic maps and population coding in which adjacent neurons represent neighboring features.

Domain-specific¶
- Neurotransmission
- In the canonical chemical case, an action potential arrives at the presynaptic terminal, opens voltage-gated calcium channels, triggers calcium-dependent vesicle fusion at the active zone, and releases quanta of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft (~20 nm)

“axon causes voltage-gated Ca** channels at the active zone to open”

- Somatotopy
- The same neighbourhood-preserving map is present in primary motor cortex (the motor homunculus, mirroring the sensory one along the central sulcus), in the cerebellum (multiple partial body maps with different functional roles), in the thalamic relay nuclei (ventral posterior lateral and medial nuclei), and in the dorsal column nuclei of the brainstem
This sourceThe standard textbook treatment, whose fifth-edition chapters on the somatosensory pathways, touch, the primary motor cortex and the cerebellum span the four loci named here; the cerebellar body maps in particular are a debated dual representation in the specialist literature.

Mechanisms¶
- Recovery Interval Enforcement
- Its strength is that it addresses the responder-side failure no cue-side guardrail can: the absence of a natural ceiling, where the circuit keeps responding because it never gets its refractory period.
This sourceExplains that refractory periods impose an upper limit on how frequently neurons can generate action potentials.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's ISBN resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 5 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
