Neuraalisiin

Neuraalisiin is the illative plural form of the Finnish adjective neuraalinen, meaning neural or relating to neurons and neural networks. In Finnish grammar, adjectives agree with the noun they modify, so neuraalisiin appears when the noun is plural and in the illative case, often translated as “into neural …” or “to neural …” in context. It is not a standalone noun; it functions as an adjective within phrases such as neuraalisiin järjestelmiin (into neural systems) or neuraalisiin verkkoihin (into neural networks).

Usage and context: The form is common in scientific and technical Finnish, particularly in fields such as neuroscience, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence. It describes phenomena, processes, or components related to neural substrates or neural networks. Examples include neuraalisiin mekanismeihin (to neural mechanisms) and neuraalisiin malleihin (to neural models). The surrounding noun determines the exact meaning, as with other Finnish adjectives.

Related terms: The base adjective neuraalinen (neural) is used to form compound terms such as neuraaliverkko or neuraalijärjestelmä (neural network or neural system), among others. Finnish terminology often combines neuraalinen with other nouns to specify domains like biology, medicine, or AI.

See also: In discussions of brain science and machine intelligence, neuraalinen as an adjective appears in phrases describing neural-related concepts, while noun forms like neuraaliverkko (neural network) or neuroverkko are also common in Finnish.
