Based on the work of Kuffler,we know that when light strikes ganglion cells:
A) some cells increase their rate of firing,while others decrease their rate of firing.
B) they immediately turn on and fire at a steady rate.
C) they immediately turn off and do not come back on for a brief period.
D) most of them will decrease their rate of firing below the level of spontaneous firing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kuffler's work showed that ganglion cells respond to light by either increasing or decreasing their rate of firing, indicating that some ganglion cells are excited by light while others are inhibited. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Option B and C are incorrect as they describe a simplified model that does not capture the complexity of ganglion cell responses. Option D is also incorrect as Kuffler showed that most ganglion cells increase their rate of firing in response to light.
