A Correct answer
Explanation

Neural circuits in sensory systems are highly specialized and respond selectively to specific stimulus patterns through feature detection. For example, visual cortex neurons respond to specific orientations, edges, or movements. They don't respond to the entire visual field, aren't limited to stationary objects, and many sensory circuits are present at birth (innate).
