Match the ganglion cell response to the location of the light stimulus.
-Diffuse light illuminates both center and surround of on-center cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

On-center cells are typically excited by light in their center and inhibited by light in their surrounding region. When diffuse light illuminates both the center and surround regions equally, the inhibitory effect from the surround partially counterbalances the excitatory effect from the center, resulting in a weaker response compared to a completely dark or completely lighted center.
