Question

what does the author convey by mentioning the saying
eurons that fire together, wire together\?
a a sense that the connection between neurons and synapses is easily studied and understood
b a sense that scientists are concerned about the danger of neurons always firing together
c a sense that the basic workings of neural networks are understood and agreed upon by scientists
d a sense that studying the brains relationship between neurons and synapses is fun for scientists

Explanation:

• Option A: The saying doesn't imply the connection is "easily studied and understood"; studying neural connections is complex, so A is wrong.
• Option B: The saying is about how neurons wire together, not about danger, so B misinterprets the meaning.
• Option C: "Neurons that fire together, wire together" is a widely accepted principle about neural networks' basic workings, suggesting scientists agree on this fundamental concept.
• Option D: The saying has nothing to do with whether studying this is "fun" for scientists.

Answer:

C. a sense that the basic workings of neural networks are understood and agreed upon by scientists
