2. How was the participants' response to light measured?
- They had sodium chloride solution injected into their brain to trace the pathways relating to the optic nerve
- They were anaesthetised and had bright slits put in front of their eyes, while recording individual neurons
- They were assessed on how well they could follow a slit of light with their paws
- They were assessed on how well they could follow a slit of light with their eyes
3. Which of these isn't an application of this research?
- It is possible to build neural pathways by behaving in certain ways/being exposed to certain stimuli
- Damage to the visual cortex can be treated if done early enough
- Children with a weaker eye should avoid using to reduce strain allowing it to naturally repair itself
- Animals raised in a non-stimulating environment are likely to behave differently to those raised normally
4. How was the brain structure of the cats analysed, and how many were?
- 1 - Using an MRI scan
- 2 - Using sodium chloride which was injected into the brain using a micro pipette
- 25 - Using potassium chloride which was injected into the brain using a nano pipette
- 4 - Using a CAT scan
5. Which of these wasn't a conclusion/part of one?
- Neurons changed their preferred orientation dependent on the stimulation they receive
- There is no evidence of cortical areas being silent
- How an animal of this species is raised can effect their ability to navigate their surroundings
- These results are unlikely due to degeneration
