Since the optic nerve must pass through the retinal layer,we all have a blind spot devoid of light receptors.This normally goes unnoticed,since the brain attempts to compensate for missing sensory information by filling it in based on surrounding patterns.Which step of the sensory pathway is represented by perceptual filling-in of the physiological blind spot?
A)interpretation
B)stimulus
C)transduction into receptor potential
D)action potential transmission
