Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tonotopic organization refers to the organization of neurons within a region of the brain according to the different frequencies to which they respond. This is commonly seen in the auditory cortex, where neurons are organized such that those that respond to low frequencies are located next to those that respond to higher frequencies. The other choices, frequency adjustment, inverse frequency tuning, and wavelength priority do not accurately describe this phenomenon.
