_____cellular pathway gives signals for movement, depth, flicker, and spatial organization

Rods and cones release _____ at their synapses.

Which types of sensory receptor adapt slowly? _____ and Merkel discs

What is the function of the VPL (ventral posterolateral) nucleus of the thalamus?

_____ is responsible for inducing phototransduction.

What senses are impaired with zinc deficiency? _____ and smell (anosmia)
