The aperture problem is solved by the pooling of responses of a number of V1 neurons. Physiological evidence suggests that this pooling occurs in the ____, a nucleus in the _____stream.
A) MT cortex; dorsal
B) MT cortex; ventral
C) PF cortex; "what"
D) PF cortex; "how"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physiological evidence suggests that pooling of responses of a number of V1 neurons to solve the aperture problem occurs in the MT (middle temporal) cortex, which is in the dorsal (where/how) stream. Option B is incorrect because MT cortex is not in the ventral (what) stream. Option C and D are also incorrect because PF cortex is not implicated in solving the aperture problem.
