Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) have center-surround receptive fields. This means that each neuron has a central region where it is sensitive to light, surrounded by an inhibitory region where it is less sensitive. This organization allows for the detection of contrast and edges in visual stimuli.
