The visual capabilities of a newborn monkey are such that
A) cortical neurons respond to specific stimuli, such as bars of light with a particular orientation, but the locations of these neurons are not yet organized in any systematic way.
B) most cortical neurons respond only to input from one eye, unlike those in adult monkeys.
C) the retina is not yet able to send visual signals to the cortex.
D) simple cells in the cortex, such as those responding to bars of light with a particular orientation, already respond similarly to those in adult animals.
E) the retina functions much like that of adults, but cortical cells respond only to diffuse light and not yet to specific stimuli.
