Question

Information from the left visual field enters the left visual cortex via the _______.

a. optic chiasm

b. anterior commissure

c. superior colliculus

d. corpus callosum

When large populations of neurons are relatively synchronously activated, have an open field organization, and received similar inputs (e.g., excitatory), then a field potential is generated. This is called a local field potential when recorded in the brain tissue, and a far field potential when recorded at some distance away. One example of a far field potential is a(n) _______________.

a. BOLD signal

b. EEG wave

c. neuronal spike

d. synaptic potential

Answer 1
