True or False:
In visual receptive fields, light falling in the center always has the opposite effect on activity of the cell than light falling in the surround.
True or false: At the center of the fovea, each P-type RGC’s receptive field contains just one photoreceptor. Reminder: these RGCs are color-opponent.
