If a researcher inserted an electrode perpendicularly into area V1,she would encounter different neurons with receptive fields as the electrode moved through the layers of the cortex.
A)from many locations on the retina
B)at about the same location on the retina
C)at about the same location but only for the area of the fovea

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons encountered by an electrode inserted perpendicularly into area V1 (primary visual cortex) tend to have receptive fields at about the same location on the retina. This is because the primary visual cortex is organized retinotopically, meaning that adjacent neurons in V1 tend to process information from adjacent parts of the visual field.
