Card 11 / 60: Which of the following are true with respect to the functional architecture of visual cortex? (2 points)
A) Penetrating an ocular dominance column from shallow (pial) to deep, you will encounter cells with a preference first for one eye, then binocular cells, and then cells with a preference for the other eye, all covering the same general spatial receptive field location.
B) Per degree of visual space, visual cortex devotes a larger area to processing inputs from near the fovea than the periphery.
C) Retinotopy is preserved in all layers (Layer 2/3, Layer 4, etc.) of striate cortex.
D) The interaction of retinotopy and orientation selectivity in visual cortex is such that, for a region of visual space (say, the upper left visual field), cells that prefer objects of various orientations in that field are found near one another in cortex.
