A)that receive inputs from foveal RGCs are very large.
B)that receive inputs from foveal RGCs are very small.
C)that receive inputs from peripheral RGCs are very small.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

V1 neurons that receive inputs from foveal RGCs have small receptive fields, as they receive input from only a few cones because of the high acuity of the fovea. V1 neurons that receive inputs from peripheral RGCs have larger receptive fields because they receive input from many more rods and cones due to their lower visual acuity.
