A) keeps a record of all possible permutations of the aforementioned properties of an object.
B) is able to dynamically change the activity of its many neuronal subsets, depending on the version of the object that is presented.
C) is highly plastic and is able to change its cortical volume, depending of the version of the object that is presented.
D) is able to increase its firing rate of a subset of ITC neurons indefinitely while decreasing the firing rate of other subsets every time a new version of the same object is presented.
E) is able to lower its firing rate or adapt, as long as none of the many versions of the same object does not stray too far from the percept of what the object is supposed to be.
