What is Retinotopy?
Early visual areas are organized by a principle known as retinotopy. The basic idea behind this organization principle is that stimulation of adjacent regions of the visual field activate adjacent locations on the cortical surface, and specific locations in these areas respond to stimulation in particular parts of the visual field. In addition, the organization of preference for particular locations in the visual field is highly consistent across individuals and can be mapped with fMRI.
