Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smaller receptive fields mean that receptors are more densely packed in the region. This increased density leads to greater acuity in the region, as more receptors can detect finer details of stimuli. However, smaller receptive fields do not necessarily lead to less cortical space allotted for sensory reception or less sensitivity to stimuli.
