Provide a thorough anatomical description of how the nervous system transforms light energy in the environment into a neural signal that reaches the primary visual cortex (V1, do not go beyond V1). Define the concept of “receptive field” and describe how the receptive fields (or response properties) of the different types of neurons change as information is processed from the retina through primary (V1) visual cortex (be sure to write about retinal ganglion cells in your answer).
