Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complex cortical cells of monkeys are binocular, meaning they receive input from both eyes, as opposed to being either monocular (receiving input from one eye) or having a single receptive field (like simple cortical cells). While complex cells are still retinotopic (meaning they are arranged in an orderly map of the visual field), this is not unique to them and is also true of many other visual neurons. Finally, complex cells do not have photopigments, as they are not directly sensitive to light.
