Types of Facilitation
Learned Reflexes - These are reflex pathways
facilitated by the brain. We “learn” pathways by
performing them over and over again and they
become facilitated.
Post-tetanic potentiation - This occurs when
we perform a rote task or other repetitive action.
At first we may be clumsy at it, but after
continuous use (post-tetanic) we become more
efficient at it (potentiation). These actions may
eventually become learned reflexes.
