Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Topographic mapping is a spatial arrangement of neurons in the brain that preserves the spatial relationships of information received by a sensory system. This means that the neurons that receive sensory input from adjacent regions of the body are arranged in a similar way in the brain, allowing for efficient processing and organization of sensory information.
