Question

15) All the following is true about Single-Cell-Recording except 15) A) With a microelectrode next to some neurons,we can detect the minute electical activity occurring each time any nearby neuron produces an action potential. B) A most important finding in vision research is that cells towards the front of our visual system in one area, respond only to lines of a certain orientation, and cells in another area respond only if the image moves a certain way. And further, in later brain regions of the visusal system, there are cells that only respond when a face is the object at wheih we are looking. C) Simulations of action potentials on an oscilloscope show us that action potentials of all cells show similar occurrences of peaks and valley each time an action potential is elicited D) The electical signals produced with Single Cell Recording are amplified and displayed on a computer monitor or TV screen. 16) The primary purpose of the visual system is 16 A) to create an image of the external environment. B) to provide us with information necessary to behave appropriately. C) to faithfully record the pattern of light intensity entering the eye. D) to convert physical energy into bioelectical impules (signals). 17) The optic chiasm found. A)is where the first p-retinal synapses are B) is Y-shaped. C) is where the M and P ganlion cell pathways diverge. D) is the site of partial decussation of ganglion cell axons. 18) Axons extending from the nasal part of the retina project to the side of the brain, 18) whereas axons from the remainder of the retina project to the part of the brain. A) Opposite (contralateral), same side (ipsilateral) B) Medial, lateral C) Same side (ipsilateral), opposite (contralateral) D) Dorsal, ventral

Explanation / Answer

16) The primary purpose of the visual system is to create an image of the external environment.

17) The optic chiasm is the site of partial decussation of ganglion cell axons

18) Axons extending from the nasal part of the retina project to the opposite (contralateral) side of the brain, whereas axons from the remainder of the retina project to the same sie (ipsilateral) part of the brain
