The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) processes visual information in terms of opposing colors (red-green, blue-yellow), which aligns with the opponent-process theory. This theory complements the trichromatic theory, which is based on the retina's detection of light through three types of cones sensitive to different wavelengths (red, green, blue).
