Question

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond differently to different faces. For example, Arthur's face causes three neurons to fire, with neuron one responding the most and neuron three responding the least. Roger's face causes the same three neurons to fire, with neuron one responding the least and neuron three responding the most. Your results support coding. Group of answer choices
1. specificity
2. population
3. convergence
4. divergence

Answer 1

Answer: Divergence

Explanation:

One postsynaptic cell has the ability to receive the input from large number of different presynpatic cells and the divergent neurons can have connections with different postsynaptic cells.

The divergence in the neurons allows one neurons to have communication with the other neurons within a network.

The divergence neurons can communicate with any of the neurons (output) in the network.
