The combination of positive signals coming from bipolar cells and inhibition coming from horizontal cells determines the strength of a signal to a retinal ganglion cell.What does this result in?
A)center-surround orientation
B)inhibitory excitation
C)dark adaptation
D)lateral inhibition

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The combination of positive signals from bipolar cells and inhibition from horizontal cells results in lateral inhibition, where nearby neurons inhibit each other to enhance contrast and sharpen edges in visual processing. Center-surround orientation, inhibitory excitation, and dark adaptation are not direct results of this process.
