Neuronal signaling. To support the general function of the nervous system, neurons have evolved unique capabilities for intracellular signaling (communication within the cell) and intercellular signaling (communication between cells).
Because of this, gyroscopes are useful for measuring or maintaining orientation. Invention History. The gyroscope was invented in 1852 by the French experimental physicist Leon Foucault (1819-1868) as part of a two-pronged investigation of the rotation of the earth.
Throughout the 20th century. improvements were made on the. spinning gyroscope. In the 1960â¢s, optical gyroscopes using lasers were first. introduced and soon found commercial. success in aeronautics and military. applications.
