neuronal pathways and circuit Flashcards
1
Q
convergent
A
many converge and synapse with smaller number of neurons
allows different parts of the nervous system to activate or inhibit neurons
synthesis of date in the brain
2
Q
divergent pathways
A
small number of presynpatic neurons synapse with a large number of post synaptic neurons
allows info to be transmitted to many parts of the brain
3
Q
reverberating circuit
A
have a chain synapse with previous neurons in the chain; creates positive feedback loop
continues until fatigued or stimulated to stop
rhymic activities ie breathing
4
Q
parallel after discharge circuit
A
neurons stimulate several neurons in parallel formation and then converge
used in processing complex information
