Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between serial processing and parallel processing.

Introduction:

Neurons are the primary functional units of the nervous system. There are billions of neurons in the body, which are connected with each other in small groups and are known as neuronal pools. A neural circuit is described as the connection patterns formed by a neuronal pool. The neural circuit works in five different ways: divergence, convergence, reverberation, serial processing, and parallel processing.
