Although for the simplest reflexes there are short neural paths from sensory neuron to motor neuron, there are also other nearby neurons that participate in the circuit and modulate the response. Source: Internet

Acetylcholine is released from presynaptic neurons into the synaptic cleft. Source: Internet

After being weighted and transformed by a function (determined by the network's designer), the activations of these neurons are then passed on to other neurons. Source: Internet

After chronic use, neurons adapt to the change in biochemistry, resulting in a change in pre- and postsynaptic receptor density and second messenger function. Source: Internet
