Fire Quote by Donald O. Hebb

“Neurons that fire together, wire together. Neurons that fail to link, fire out of sync.”

— An Article on Neuroplasticity

“Such networks of neurons are built following the principle that “cells that fire together, wire together” (Hebb’s rule). In short, neurons that are frequently…

“What happens in your mind changes your brain, both temporarily and in lasting ways; neurons that fire together wire together.”

— Rick Hanson

If you start responding to every stimulus, then you end up as a nerve gas case, quite literally. Neurons fire at once.

— Hollis Frampton

Sticking wires into the brain is obviously rather crude. It's hard to do in animals that run around, and there is a physical limit…

Made up of a dozen billion microscopic nerve-cell units interconnected by millions upon millions of conducting nerve-threads weaving incredibly intricate patterns, the brain, as…

The structure of the human brain is enormously complex. It contains about 10 billion nerve cells (neurons), which are interlinked in a vast network…

“Whenever we use our brain, we fire certain neuronal connections, and the more these connections get used, the stronger they become.”

— OliviaFox Cabane

Nerve cells communicate with one another at specialized points called synapses. And these synapses are plastic - they can be modified by learning.

— Eric Kandel

“The brain consists of many small networks of neurons that connect to other networks, like this: Just a basic understanding of how my brain…

Neuroscientists talk a lot about brain circuits. In fact, the word 'circuit' is probably misleading. We do not know where most circuits begin and…

— Thomas R. Insel

The continuous networks of neural circuitry accomplish their functions using multiple, independently discovered strategies. The brain lends itself well to the complexity of the…
