Multiple Choice

Refer to figure 12.7 In the text , what is the best explanation for the difference in LGN spatial receptive fields in a young ferret as compared to an adult?

A) the patterns of excitation in the LGN on and off center sides as well as surround inhibition do not change much during development
B) pruning of the neurons during development in the LGN makes the on and off center sites of excitation smaller and the surround inhibition larger
C) pruning of the neurons during development in the LGN makes the on and off center sites of excitation smaller and the surround inhibition smaller
D) pruning of the neurons during development in the LGN makes the on and off center sites of excitation smaller and the surround inhibition smaller.
