A neuron in the visual cortex codes for vertical lines. It will represent the presence of a vertical line by: increasing its firing rate to its highest frequency of firing.
The correct option is A.
The basic building blocks of the brain and nervous system are neurons (also known as neurones or nerve cells). Neurons are the cells that receive sensory information from the outside world, give motor orders to our muscles, and convert and relay electrical impulses at each stage along the way.
The principal area of the brain responsible for receiving, integrating, and processing visual information received from the retinas is known as the visual cortex. It is located in the most backward part of the brain, in the main cerebral cortex's occipital lobe.
The complete question is:
A neuron in the visual cortex codes for vertical lines. It will represent the presence of a vertical line by:
A) increasing its firing rate to its highest frequency of firing
B) increasing the size of action potentials to their greatest amplitude (wave height)
C) increasing the duration of action potentials to their greatest duration
D) increasing the delay between action potentials to the maximum possible delay
