Difference between Neuron and Visual cortex

Neuron vs. Visual cortex

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. The visual cortex of the brain is a part of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information.

Similarities between Neuron and Visual cortex

Neuron and Visual cortex have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Axon, Brain, Electrophysiology, Myelin, Pyramidal cell, Retina, Visual cortex.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Electrophysiology

Electrophysiology (from Greek ἥλεκτρον, ēlektron, "amber"; φύσις, physis, "nature, origin"; and -λογία, -logia) is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues.

Myelin

Myelin is a lipid-rich substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer.

Pyramidal cell

Pyramidal cells, or (pyramidal neurons), are a type of multipolar neuron found in areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Neuron and Visual cortex Comparison

Neuron has 225 relations, while Visual cortex has 90. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 2.54% = 8 / (225 + 90).
