What does NEURAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technicalmedical
Relating to a nerve or to the nervous system.
Doctors and scientists use neural to describe anything that involves nerves, from a single neural pathway carrying one signal to the whole neural system that links brain, spinal cord and body. The word appears constantly in medicine and biology, and increasingly in computing, where a neural network is a program loosely modeled on how brain cells pass signals to each other. Because the nervous system controls sensation and movement, damage described as neural often affects feeling, reflexes or motor control. The adjective is neutral and purely descriptive, carrying no sense of disease by itself.
How NEURAL is used
Technical word, common in medicine, biology and computer science; rare in everyday conversation outside those fields.
- The scan showed no neural damage after the accident.
- Researchers mapped the neural pathway that controls the reflex.
