Where would an investigator most likely find neurons that are most capable of dealing with information from the whole binocular visual field?
A) the superior colliculus
B) the visual cortex
C) the lateral geniculate nucleus
D) the pulvinar nucleus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neurons in the visual cortex, particularly in the primary visual cortex (V1), are specialized for processing information from both eyes and integrating it to form a complete picture of the visual field. This area receives input from the lateral geniculate nucleus and is responsible for higher-level visual processing. The other nuclei listed (superior colliculus, lateral geniculate nucleus, pulvinar nucleus) are involved in visual processing but not specifically for integrating information from both eyes.
