How do we determine the location of a simple cell's receptive field?
A) by finding the area on the parietal lobe where a flashed bar causes the cell to fire
B) by flashing bars in the inhibitory central area and excitatory surrounding area
C) by finding the area on the retina where a flashed bar causes the cell to fire
D) by flashing bars vertically into the cortex so that they respond to similar types of stimuli

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The location of a simple cell's receptive field is determined by identifying the specific area on the retina where presenting a visual stimulus (like a flashed bar) causes the cell to fire. This method directly links the cell's activity to specific visual inputs on the retina, rather than involving more complex or indirect approaches.
