It's remarkably different from the simple three neuron types classification — motor neurons, sensory neurons, and interneurons — one might have learned in a cursory overview of brain science.

Noise reduces the neural activation threshold and enhances the sensitivity of sensory neurons. While research has ... reduction in the EEG beta (15-30 Hz) band and gamma (>30 Hz) CMC. We also observed ...
