A) The receptor potential in neurons X and Z will be more depolarized than in neuron Y.
B) It won't be possible to discriminate which neuron's receptive field was stimulated at its center.
C) The frequency of action potentials in the afferent pathway from neuron Y will be increased by excitatory interneurons projecting from the afferent pathways from neurons X and Z.
D) The frequency of action potentials in neuron Y will be greater than that in neurons X and Z.
E) The receptor potentials in all three neurons will achieve the same,average value.
