Yes, the number of neurons in a chain can affect signal speed, but the relationship is not straightforward. While the speed of signal transmission along an individual neuron is primarily determined by factors like myelination and axon diameter, the overall processing time can increase with more neurons due to synaptic delays at each junction. Therefore, a longer chain of neurons can lead to slower overall signal propagation due to these additional processing times, despite individual neurons transmitting signals rapidly.
No, the chain ganglion contains cell bodies (soma) of autonomic motor neurons, not sensory neurons. Sensory neurons have their cell bodies located in the dorsal root ganglion outside the spinal cord.
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).
When a neuron does not fire, it fails to transmit electrical impulses to other neurons. This can disrupt communication within the brain and hinder the relay of information for various functions such as movement, sensation, or cognition. Inability of neurons to fire can lead to impaired neural signaling and impact overall brain function.
Neurons are involved in signaling; the propagation of action potentials and the release of substances that effect other tissues. It is information in the wider context of the word since the individual signal only has significance in relation to the activities of other neurons as well.

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.
No, the chain ganglion contains cell bodies (soma) of autonomic motor neurons, not sensory neurons. Sensory neurons have their cell bodies located in the dorsal root ganglion outside the spinal cord.
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.

True
For optimal performance, place your multi-effects pedal after your guitar and before your amplifier in the signal chain.
autonomic
Place the noise gate towards the beginning of your signal chain to effectively reduce unwanted noise.
The delay pedal should typically go after the distortion and modulation pedals in the signal chain to achieve the best sound quality and effect.
