C  determining which stimuli have the most effect on the firing of an individual neuron when they are presented in its visual field.

D  starting at the periphery of a system and progressively studying neurons at “higher” and “higher” levels of the system.

E  defining the receptive fields of individual neurons.

A  if A fires less than B, B must fire more than C.

B  visual receptors on the more intense side of an edge receive more lateral inhibition than receptors on the less intense side.

C  visual receptors adjacent to an edge on the more intense side receive less lateral inhibition than do receptors farther from that edge, and because visual receptors adjacent to the edge on the less intense side receive more lateral inhibition than do receptors farther from that edge.

D  the visual receptors near an edge become hyperpolarized.

E  visual receptors on the more intense side of an edge receive less lateral inhibition than receptors on the less intense side.
