Two-way communication between neurons is permitted, in contrast to the one-way
communication in electrical synapses.
Communication between a neuron and the single neuron it is connected with will be facilitated.

neurobiology of sleep? (Points : 0.4)
The hypothalamus stimulates the anterior and posterior pituitary to modulate sleeping–waking
cycles.
The pituitary releases melatonin at predictable points in the circadian rhythm in order to facilitate
sleep.
The reticular formation, thalamus, and cerebral cortex interact to integrate the sleep–wake cycle.
Input from the retinas is interpreted by the cerebellum and contributes to maintenance of the
circadian rhythm.
Question 9. 9. Following a spinal cord injury suffered in a motor vehicle accident, a 22-year-old
