Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opponent neurons have been found in both the retina and the LGN (lateral geniculate nucleus) of the thalamus. These neurons respond in an opposite manner to certain colors and color combinations, providing evidence for the opponent-process theory of color vision. Therefore, both the retina and LGN provide physiological support for this theory.
