Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The opponent-process theory focuses on how neurons in the visual system code for color information, specifically how pairs of neurons respond in opposite ways to different colors (e.g. red-green, blue-yellow). It does not solely focus on the responses of cones or rods, or compare processing in different parts of the retina.
