Solution

The false statement is D) "When you shine light into the receptive field of a ganglion cell, the ganglion cells respond the same way within its receptive fields". This is not true because the response of ganglion cells can vary depending on the area of the receptive field that is stimulated. Some ganglion cells have an 'on-center/off-surround' receptive field, meaning they respond positively to light in the center of their receptive field and negatively to light in the surround. Others have an 'off-center/on-surround' receptive field, meaning they respond negatively to light in the center and positively to light in the surround. Therefore, the response of a ganglion cell to light can vary within its receptive field.
