Question

The receptive field of this type of cell in the striate cortex is made up of a large number of receptive fields from neurons in the LGN. Additionally, these cells respond to light at specific orientations and locations, and thus are best in responding to things such as lines and edges.

A. Complex
B. Ganglion
C. Bipolar
D. Simple

Answer 1

Simple cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple cells are found in primary visual cortex and are made up of large number of receptive fields from neurons and the respond to light at specific Orientation and oriented edges. The cells were discovered by Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel in the late 1950s. The simple cells respond to stimuli with some particular orientations to objects within their receptive fields. Receptive fields comprises of sensory receptors in the sensory neurons that draw out neurosonal responses when there are stimulated
