Lateral inhibition

Explanation:

Lateral inhibition also called as lateral antagonism is the phenomena in which an excited neuron decreases the activity of neighboring neurons. It does not allow the action potential to spread from the excited neuron to the neighbors in lateral direction hence the name. Due to this process a contrast is created in stimulation which leads to increased sensory perception.

It is utilized in visual, olfactory, auditory and tactile processing. Lateral inhibition utilizing cells are majorly present in thalamus and cerebral cortex and form together the lateral inhibitory network.

that is wrong, its not thymus.

well, i believe that the answer is 2. : 3
