Vision III (part 2)

is the organizing principle for the visual system where neighbouring cells in the retina project to neighbouring cells in the LGN and V1.

OFF

Answer explanation

Cortical magnification, where the fovea (center of vision) is amplified because there is many more neurons in the V1 receiving input from the central vision. And there is overlap in the field of vision meaning these cell will firing
