Question

The "what" versus "where" distinction is supported by single-cell recording studies showing that neurons in the _______ lobes have receptive fields that are almost always located in the fovea, where high-acuity vision takes place.

Answer 1

lobes inferior temporal

Step-by-step explanation:

When we evaluate the temporal lobe superficially, we find three faces: lateral, inferior and medial. Three turns constitute the lateral face: the upper, middle and lower temporal turns.

The inferior temporal gyrus continues downward and medially and ends in the groove of the same name, which separates it from the medial occipitotemporal gyrus (or fusiform). Some studies have shown that neurons in the lower temporal lobes have receptive fields that are almost always located in the fovea, where high-acuity vision occurs.
