I always thought the answer was red, but someone else told me that the eye 
itself is most sensitive to yellow-green, so now I am confused!  In my 
question I mean, is there a difference between what color the eye gives 
the greatest nerve response to and what color the part of the brain that 
deals with visual perception responds most to, and if so what are they?
Thanks!
