Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding amphibian and mammalian visual systems?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The statement that half of the neurons project to the lateral geniculate nuclei (LGN) from the same side in both frog tadpoles and mammals is false. In mammals, most retinal neurons project contralaterally, while in amphibians, the projection pattern is more complex and varies by species. This highlights differences in visual system organization between these groups.
