Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ganglion receptive fields in the macula are smaller and denser than the ones in the periphery. The smaller size allows for higher visual acuity in the central vision. Additionally, ganglion receptive fields do show center-surround organization similar to bipolar receptive fields. Therefore, B and C can be eliminated as possible choices. A is incorrect because ganglion receptive fields can vary in size based on their location in the retina.
