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¶
- 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.
