Question

While on vacation you remember passing a restaurant earlier in the day about halfway between your current location and your hotel. You visualize a map of the area and imagine 'scanning' from your current location back to your hotel (as is done in mental scanning experiments), and then imagine 'scanning' from your current location to the restaurant. What is one kind of neuron that we could predict would become active during this process?
A)map neurons
B)imagery neurons
C)scanning neurons
D)location neurons
E)none of these responses is supported by research

Accepted Answer

Imagery neurons become active when individuals visualize or imagine scenes, objects, or locations, which is consistent with the process described in the scenario.
