Chapter 12, Problem 8DYKB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The central nervous system consists of interneuron, which is organized as neuronal pools. These neurons perform the same function even though their cell bodies are present in the different part of the central nervous system. Each pool of neuron receives an input from the part of other pool and generates an output. These neuronal pools may produce excitatory or an inhibitory effect on other neuronal pool.

synaptic neurons
causes the stimulation of the post-synaptic neuron continually
similar to a positive feedback response
A. diverging circuits
B. converging circuits
C. reverberating circuits
causes a longer lasting stimulus of the post-synaptic neuron
D. parallel after discharge circuits
a single pre-synaptic neuron synapses with multiple post-synaptic
neurons
