Once within the cerebral cortex, the magnocellular pathway continues, with a ventral branch sensitive to ____.
A) details of shape
B) facial features
C) movement
D) brightness

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnocellular pathway is responsible for processing movement, and within the cerebral cortex, there is a ventral branch of this pathway that is specifically sensitive to movement. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choice A (details of shape) and choice B (facial features) are both processed by the ventral stream, which is separate from the magnocellular pathway. Choice D (brightness) is not a specific visual feature but rather an aspect of overall image processing.
