One name. One construct. A landmark on the map.
● anchor · a standalone construct Nearest construct by meaningseriescompare the meaningsEvery construct on the map is compared with every other by the meaning of its definitions, and the closest one is surfaced here. The nearest construct to circuit is series.
Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

A set of neurons connected by synapses so that signals passing among them carry out a specific function, such as detecting a stimulus or driving a movement. In Luo's review Architectures of neuronal circuits, circuits are described by their wiring motifs, feedforward and feedback loops, convergence and divergence, that shape how activity is transformed. The referent is living neural tissue, and the unit is a pattern of connections and the spikes that travel across them. What flows here is electrochemical signalling between cells, not electric current in a wire and not a person through a gym, which is what distinguishes this meaning from the others despite the shared word.[1]
