Although electrical synapses are much less common than chemical synapses, they are known for their speed of transmission and, thus, are most likely part of the neural circuitry that underlies
A) courtship behaviors.
B) escape behaviors.
C) feeding behaviors.
D) learning.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Escape behaviors often require rapid response times to avoid predators or dangerous situations. Electrical synapses facilitate this by allowing for quicker signal transmission compared to chemical synapses, making them ideal for the neural circuitry involved in initiating fast escape responses.
