Does a reverberating circuit involve an incoming signal that travels along a chain of neurons and quickly dies out?

No, a reverberating circuit does not involve an incoming signal that travels along a chain of neurons and quickly dies out. A reverberating circuit is a circular circuit that returns a signal to its source.


What does the neuron do?

Neural activitity makes your brain work, and allows sensations, thoughts, and decisions. The neuron "fires" an electrical signal, due to chemical stimulation from other neurons, which releases chemicals (neurotransmitters) to repeat the process for other neurons. It is part of a chain reaction within a neural network.

What do nerves do?

A neuron is like a relay switch - it receives signals from other neurons and depending on the nature of the signals, the neuron may then 'fire' a signal of its own, stay silent, or become inhibited. This is like binary code - i.e.,"on" and "off" states. A neuron can oscillate between these states in a variety of frequencies. So the range of computations that even a single neuron can perform is impressive. Now, consider that this sort of thing is happening billions of times every second all throughout the nervous system and you can intuitively grasp just how complex the patterns of signals would become. In fact, somewhere in those patterns is what we would call our 'mind' and our 'intelligence' and so on. And this is all because of a large collection of neurons (~100 billion at birth) relaying signals to each other through a multitude of pathways (trillions).


If polar bears become extinct how will it affect our food chain?

They won't and it would not affect our food chain. It would be a terrible loss to the planet though. Fortunately, they are not endangered and their numbers are still growing. They now number well over 20,000.
