1. You are recording from four separate ganglion cells, whose receptive fields are represented in the image below. All of these ganglion cells are center-on cells. Note: in this image, grey represents light (sorry, it's a little confusing, but it's hard to represent light in a black and white static image!). A B D (a) (1 point) What are the first order cells that make up each receptive field? (b)(1 point) What is the response of the first-order cells in the center of cell A when light shines on that area? (c) (1 point) Is the response you described in (b) different for the first-order cells that make up the surround of cell A when light is shining on them? (d) (3 points) Describe what accounts for the difference in the response of ganglion cells B and C. Be specific and be sure to include the role of all relevant interneurons.

You are watching the stars at night, and you never seem to be looking at the right spot to catch the brightest meteors. Which of the following might explain this? a)Your fovea contains mostly cones; thus you see dim light especially well when looking right at it. b)Your peripheral retina contains more rods, which are more sensitive to dim light than cones; thus objects in your peripheral vision appear brighter in dim light situations. c)Detection of light depends mostly on its color rather than intensity; thus cones play a larger role in detection of light in dim light situations. d) all of the above. ( well explain the correct answer and type answer).

What happens if we cover the entire receptive field of an off-center, on-surround ganglion cell with light? A) The cell produces a moderate amount of action potentials, similar to when it is in the dark. B) The cell initially becomes more active, because light is now present, but then reduces its activity quickly. C) The cell becomes much less active than it is in the dark. D) The cell becomes much more active than it is in the dark.
