Different layers of the __________________ analyze input from cones (and rods)differently such that one layer can add input from L and M cones to obtain information about light intensity,while another could subtract such input to obtain red-green color information.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The layers described in the statement are specific to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the thalamus. The LGN has six layers, each of which analyzes input from cones (and rods) differently to provide different types of visual information to the primary visual cortex. One example of this is that some LGN layers add input from L and M cones to obtain information about overall light intensity, while other layers subtract input to obtain red-green color information.
