Color perception
- Depends on special channels from retina to area V4 of visual cortex
- 4 stages of color perception:
- Cones in retina respond to different light wavelengths
- Information is processed by retinal cells: retinal ganglion cells are excited by some light and inhibited by others
- Ganglion cells send information to the LGN
- Information goes to area V1, and then to additional cortical areas

Imagine a neuroscientist inserts a microelectrode perpendicularly into the surface of the primary visual cortex. As the electrode is slowly advanced, it records the activity of several neurons that lie in a direct line, one after the other. All of these neurons are found to be responsive to stimuli presented in the exact same small area of the visual field. Which of the following additional properties would this specific group of neurons most likely share?
