- Which is true regarding somatotopic organization? Select one: a. Certain areas of the body have much higher representation in the primary somatosensory cortex than other areas, and these regions will have finer tactile discrimination. b. The representation of a given area of the body in the primary somatosensory cortex is directly proportional to the size of that body area (e.g., the right index finger has less representation than the right thigh). c. The receptive fields for somatosensory neurons are circular and relatively consistent in size across areas of the body, but areas of the body with the finest tactile discrimination have many more neurons representing them in the primary somatosensory cortex. d.
