a closed circuit, in which the signal continually travels around a circular path over and over until one of the components (usually neurons) stops functioning and the signal is not transmitted to the next component; proposed by Hebb as the mechanism for short-term memory

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.


A neural circuit where a single impulse is transmitted over and over?

This type of neural circuit is known as a reverberating circuit. In this circuit, the signal travels in a loop, activating the same set of neurons repeatedly to sustain the signal for a prolonged period. Reverberating circuits are essential for processes like short-term memory and rhythmic activities like breathing.


Which neuron circuit pattern is involved in the control of rhythmic activities such as breathing?

A reverberating circuit is involved in the control of rhythmic activities such as breathing.


What are recognized neuronal circuit patterns?

convergent, divergent, reverberating and parallel processing


What is the divergent circuit inthe nervous system?

There are three types of circuits which brain researchers have identified. They are divergent, convergent, or reverberating: * Convergent circuit - Signals from many neurons are sent on to just a few. * Divergent circuit - Signals from one neuron are sent out to many others. * Reverberating circuit - A circular circuit that returns a signal to its source.


Which neural circuit enables a single presynaptic stimulation to cause a postsynaptic cell to send a series of impulses?

Reverberating neural circuits are responsible for generating a series of action potentials in a postsynaptic cell in response to a single presynaptic stimulation. This circuit involves positive feedback loops where excitation from the original stimulation is amplified and sustained through recurrent connections within the network.

What does reverberating mean?

Reverberating means to be repeated or echoed, often creating a persistent or prolonged effect. It can also refer to vibrations or soundwaves bouncing off surfaces and creating an echoing effect.


What is the meaning clickely-clack reverberating?

The phrase "clickety-clack reverberating" could refer to the sound of something repeatedly hitting against a hard surface and echoing loudly. It often evokes images of a rhythmic or repetitive sound pattern.


What is a word that starts with a kako and means a sound?

Not sure about 'kako'? But it could be echo, which is a reverberating sound.
