Identify the FALSE statement about the neurons in are V1:
Correct answer: A. Neurons in V1 adapt to visual stimulation, so their response to a stimulus increases over time with repeated presentation
- A. Neurons in V1 adapt to visual stimulation, so their response to a stimulus increases over time with repeated presentation
- B. The localized receptive fields and binocular characteristics of V1 neurons correlate very well with the perceptual characteristics of perceptual after-effects
- C. The neurons in area V1 are prime candidates for the mechanisms that underlie visual after-effects in people
- D. Images of complex objects trees; houses, people are initially analyzed by mechanisms that respond to their local physical characteristics and have no connection with the identity of the objects themselves
Explanation
Neural adaptation normally reduces a neuron's response after prolonged or repeated stimulation, rather than increasing it. V1 neurons are considered important candidates for visual after-effects because their receptive fields and orientation responses correspond to these perceptual changes.
