According to the law of specific nerve energy, neural signals are associated with a characteristic sensory quality because:
A) They reach different cortical receiving areas
B) They are labelled by different neurotransmitters
C) They are generated by different kinds of receptors
D) They are labelled by their different firing frequencies

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law of specific nerve energies states that the nature of perception is defined by the pathway over which the sensory information is carried. Therefore, different sensory modalities are perceived because they reach different cortical receiving areas.
