Neurons in the olfactory bulb demonstrate an extensive amount of convergence and divergence. This means that neurons in this system
A)sometimes fire synchronously and asynchronously with respect to each other.
B)project to, and receive input from, a large number of other neurons.
C)synapse onto their own presynaptic neurons, creating feedback loops.
D)send output to regions of the brain both near and far from the olfactory epithelium.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convergence and divergence refer to the way neurons in the olfactory bulb project to and receive input from a large number of other neurons, allowing for the integration and distribution of olfactory information across the brain.
