What term refers to interconnected neural cells that can learn through experience?

• A. Glial Cells
• B. Hormones
• C. Neurons
• D. Neural Networks

Answer: (D)

Interconnected neurons that learn from experience are described as neural networks. Learning happens as connections between neurons change with practice and exposure, so groups of neurons work together to encode, store, and refine information. This networked activity explains how skills improve and memories form through experience, not just by a single cell firing or by supporting cells alone. Glial cells provide support and maintenance for neurons but don’t themselves form learning networks. Hormones act as chemical messengers across the body and brain rather than establishing the learning-connected web of neurons. Neurons are the individual signaling units, and while they participate in networks, the network as a whole is what learns from experience.
