Neural Pathways Flashcards
1
Q
What happens in converging pathways?
A
Impulses from several neurons travel to one neuron.
2
Q
What does a converging pathway cause?
A
The increase in sensitivity to excitatory or inhibitory signals.
3
Q
What happens in a diverging neural pathway?
A
Impulses from one neuron travel to several neurons so affecting more than one destination at the same time.
4
Q
What happens in a reverberating pathway?
A
Neurons later in the pathway link with earlier neurons, sending the impulse back through the pathway.
5
Q
What do reverberating pathways allow?
A
The repeated stimulation of the pathway.
