Question
Which of the following is false about the cells of the visual cortex?A) Simple cells have elongated excitatory and inhibitory regions.B) Hypercomplex cells respond to edge-shaped stimulus.C) Complex cells are also known as end-stopped cells.D) Complex cells respond well to visual stimulus moving in a certain direction.E) Simple cells respond to bar or line-shaped visual stimulation.
Solution
The false statement about the cells of the visual cortex is C) Complex cells are also known as end-stopped cells.
This is because end-stopped cells, also known as hypercomplex cells, are a different type of cell in the visual cortex. They are more specialized than complex cells and respond to corners, angles, or bars of a specific length, while complex cells respond to a visual stimulus moving in a certain direction.
