Question

Drag the examples from the left into the boxes that best categorize the principal mechanism they represent. Recruitment When a candle flame is viewed at a distance, it only activates a fevw photoreceptors, but when you move closer, many more photoreceptors respond. In the retina of the eye, when light strikes photoreceptors in one particular area, it increases action potential frequency in neurons traveling to the brain from that area, while simultaneously activating interneurons that reduce action potential frequency in neurons from adjacent areas. Labeled lines During a delicate procedure to remove a tumor from the area of the lateral geniculate nucleus of the brain, contact of a surgical instrument with a particular area causes the patient (who is kept awake during surgery) to perceive flashes of light. Lateral inhibition

Explanation / Answer

Recruitment

When a candle flame is viewed at a distance , it only activates a few photoreceptors but when you move closer many more photoreceptors respond

Labeled lines

During a delicate procedure to remove a tumor from the area of the lateral geniculate nucleus of the brain, contact of a surgical instrument with a particular area causes the patient (who is kept awake during a surgery) to perceive flashes of light

Lateral Inhibition
