The center-surround arrangement of visual receptive fields ________________.
 | |
 |
involves the relative activity of two concentric circles; |
 |
involves a different response to light in the center circle versus the surrounding circle; |
 |
results in hyperpolarization in one circle and depolarization in the other when stimulated by light; |
 |
increases lateral communication in the retina and therefore the refinement of the signal that reaches visual cortex; |
 |
all of the alternatives are correct; |
CORRECT - Yes, the center-surround receptive field involves a contrasting response to light in two concentric circles (hyper- or depolarization). This lateral communication increases the resolution of the signal reaching visual cortex.
