Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kuffler's experiments demonstrated that each ganglion cell has a specific receptive field, meaning a specific area of the visual field that it responds to. This receptive field is composed of a group of photoreceptor cells that receive light from that area. Option A (optic chiasm) refers to the point in the brain where the optic nerves cross over each other, while options B (binocular vision), D (midbrain), and E (medulla) are not directly related to Kuffler's experiments.
