Using the techniques of both recording from neurons and ablation, researchers found that properties of the ventral and dorsal streams are established by two different types of _____ cells in the retina, which transmit signals to different layers of the _____.
A) bipolar; hippocampus
B) ganglion; hippocampus.
C) ganglion; LGN
D) bipolar; hippocampus.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is referring to the visual processing pathways, known as the ventral and dorsal streams. Research has shown that these pathways are established by two different types of ganglion cells in the retina, which transmit signals to different layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Therefore, the correct answer is C) ganglion; LGN. Choice A and D are incorrect as bipolar cells are not known to be involved in establishing visual processing pathways, and the hippocampus is not directly involved in visual processing. Choice B is partially correct in that ganglion cells are involved, but the hippocampus is not the correct destination for the signals.
