Explain Does the length of the line change firing rates for simple and complex cells or does firing only change with orientation of the cells?

Answer:

The cell would fire more for a line that fills its receptive field than for a shorter line. But unlike end stopped cells, it will not fire less for a very long line that extends beyond the receptive field.
