Differentiate Between Divergent and Convergent Neural Circuits

question 67

Multiple Choice

Differentiate between divergent and convergent neural circuits.

• A)In divergent circuits,information spreads from one neuron to several neurons.In convergent circuits,several neurons synapse with one postsynaptic neuron.
• B)In divergent circuits,several neurons synapse with one postsynaptic neuron.In convergent circuits,information spreads from one neuron to several neurons.
• C)In divergent circuits,information from one neuron is spread through one hemisphere of the cerebrum.In convergent circuits,information from one neuron is spread through both cerebral hemispheres.
• D)In divergent circuits,information from one neuron is spread through both cerebral hemispheres.In convergent circuits,information from one neuron is spread through one hemisphere of the cerebrum.
• E)In divergent circuits,branches of axons somewhere along on the circuit extend back toward the source and stimulate the presynaptic neuron similar to a positive feedback loop.In a convergent circuit,the original presynaptic neuron is not stimulated by axons further down the circuit.
