neuronal circuit
review
neurons and neuroglia consist of the nervous system.
review
neurons connect one with another at synapses, including
electrical synapses and chemical synapses.

neuronal circuit
Divergence of signals:
less great numbers
Two types:
Two types:
a single incoming fiber
multiple sources
summation: spatial
temporal: simultaneously or in rapid succession
neuronal circuit
neuronal circuit:
neuronal circuit
excitatory and inhibitory output signals resulted from
neuronal circuit.
An incoming signal an output excitatory signal
an inhibitory signal
and eg:
recurrent inhibition circuit
neuronal circuit
after-discharge resulted from neuronal circuit
prolongation of a signal by a neuronal pool.
* a signal entering a pool causes a prolonged output
discharge lasting for about milliseconds to many minutes.
neuronal circuit
Mechanism:
Synaptic discharge:
Oscillatory circuit / reverberatory circuit
neuronal circuit
Results of reverberotary circuit:
rhythmical signal output:
eg. A rhythmical respiratory signal:
scratching movement of the hind leg of a dog
walking movement of an animal
neuronal circuit
Instability and stability of neuronal circuit
neuronal circuit
Features of neuronal circuit:
Single direction
Synaptic delay: 0.3~0.5ms
Summation: spatial and temporal
Change of extitatory rhythm
Likely to fatigue
After-discharges
