Neural Pathways

Question 1

What happens in converging pathways?

Answer 1

Impulses from several neurons travel to one neuron.

Question 2

What does a converging pathway cause?

Answer 2

The increase in sensitivity to excitatory or inhibitory signals.

Question 3

What happens in a diverging neural pathway?

Answer 3

Impulses from one neuron travel to several neurons so affecting more than one destination at the same time.

Question 4

What happens in a reverberating pathway?

Answer 4

Neurons later in the pathway link with earlier neurons, sending the impulse back through the pathway.

Question 5

What do reverberating pathways allow?

Answer 5

The repeated stimulation of the pathway.
