If we compare the receptive fields of two simple cells in the primary visual cortex, chosen at random, in what way are they most likely to differ?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simple cells in the primary visual cortex are primarily characterized by their orientation tuning, meaning that they respond best to specific orientations (angles) of visual stimuli, such as lines or edges. Therefore, it is most likely that two randomly selected simple cells will differ in their preferred orientation, rather than in other properties such as shape or color sensitivity, or the size of their receptive field.
