    The arbor vitae / ˌ ɑːr b ɔːr ˈ v aɪ t iː / (Latin for "tree of life") is the cerebellar white matter, so called for its branched, tree-like appearance.In some ways it more resembles a fern and is present in both cerebellar hemispheres. [1]

  5. Plant memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_memory

    The physiology of plant memory is documented in many studies and is understood to have four main physiological mechanisms that work together in synchrony to provide the plant with basic memory functions, and are thought to be precursors to advanced memory functions found in animals. These four mechanisms are the storing and recalling ...

    It also encompasses cognition, and human behavior. [2] Neuroscience has multiple concepts that each relate to learning abilities and memory functions. Additionally, the brain is able to transmit signals that cause conscious/unconscious behaviors that are responses verbal or non-verbal. This allows people to communicate with one another. [4]

    the minicolumn must be considered a strong model for cortical organization" and "[the minicolumn is] the most basic and consistent template by which the neocortex organizes its neurones, pathways, and intrinsic circuits". Cells in 50 μm minicolumn all have the same receptive field; adjacent minicolumns may have different fields. [7]

    The inferior olivary nucleus (or 'complex'), which is a part of the olivo-cerebellar system and is mainly involved in cerebellar motor-learning and function. The superior olivary nucleus, considered part of the pons and part of the auditory system, aiding the perception of sound. The inferior olive in itself is divided to 3 main nuclei:
