Which of the following is LEAST true of neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1)? Each neuron responds most vigorously to bars of light with a specific orientation. Each neuron responds to oriented bars of light of exactly one orientation (e.g., 45 degrees). The orientation of bars of light is represented with a distributed code. An oriented bar of light will generally excite more than one orientation-selective neuron. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) works by: measuring changes in the oxygen content of blood that result from neural activity. measuring electrical fields created by small populations of neurons. temporarily disrupting neural activity within specific regions of the brain. measuring the magnetic resonant properties of neurons in the brain.

Question 43 Which type of neuron integrates information coming into the central nervous system? afferent neurons motor neurons interneurons efferent neurons sensory neurons Question 44 Functionally speaking, a neuronal impulse (or firing) is a flow of electrons along the outside of the plasma membrane of a neuron. the movement of cytoplasmic elements through the core of the neuron. a voltage change caused by movement of ions. a lengthening and shortening of the membrane extensions of an individual neuron. a change in the metabolic rate within a neuron. Question 45 A myelin sheath stores sodium ions. acts as an electrical conductor. acts as an insulator. contains action potentials.
