Nervous System

Postby Nicolodn » Sat Sep 18, 2010 9:44 am

The term that describes a neural pathway where a single neuron is stimulated
and synapses with many neurons, resulting in multiple responses, is:
a. Convergence
b. Divergence
c. Feed-forward
d. Polysynaptic
e. Reflex.

Thanks.

Cis or trans? That's what matters.

I agree with JackBean - lots of synapses makes sense as polysynatic. However a single signal spreading into several is divergence....your choice!
