Retinotopy refers to the spatial organization of neuronal responses to visual stimuli.

In many brain regions, neurons that respond to stimulation from a given portion of the visual field are located right next to neurons whose receiving field covers adjacent portions. Therefore, all the neurons of these brain regions form a topographic representation of the visual field from its projection on the retina. code
