In _______ cells, two different regions of the light spectrum have opposite effects on firing response.
A) dichromatic
B) trichromatic
C) spectrally opponent
D) ganglion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spectrally opponent cells, also known as color opponent cells, have regions of sensitivity to different parts of the spectrum that produce opposite firing responses. For example, in the retina, some cells are sensitive to red light and inhibited by green light, while others are sensitive to green light and inhibited by red light. These cells play an important role in color perception. Dichromatic and trichromatic cells refer to the number of cone cell types a species has, while ganglion cells are responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain.
