A neuron whose response is based on the object's location relative to the hand and not on the retinal location stimulated by the object is said to have a:
A) pseudo-unipolar response.
B) hand-centered receptive field.
C) retina-centered receptive field.
D) high-spatial-frequency response.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hand-centered receptive fields are characteristic of neurons that respond based on the object's location relative to the hand, rather than its location on the retina. This means the neuron's activity is related to the spatial relationship between the hand and objects in the environment, which is crucial for guiding movements towards those objects.
