In general,neurons of the retina-geniculate-striate system respond weakly to
A) monocular stimuli.
B) diffuse light.
C) contrast.
D) circles of light.
E) circular edges.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons of the retina-geniculate-striate system respond most strongly to sharply defined edges and contrasts, and weakly to diffuse light. Therefore, choice B, which mentions diffuse light, is the best option. The other choices (A, C, D, and E) all describe stimuli that neurons in this system would typically respond to with varying degrees of activity.
