Answer: medullary region
Which of the following is NOT a functional region of a neuron?

A neuron or nerve cell is an electrically excitable cell that communicates with other cells via specialized connections called synapses. It is the main component of nervous tissue in all animals except sponges and placozoa. Plants and fungi do not have nerve cells. Neurons are typically classified into three types based on their function. Sensory neurons respond to stimuli such as touch sound or light that affect the cells of the sensory organs and they send signals to the sp…

By definition the receptive field is the region within the entire visual field that elicits an action potential. But for any given neuron it may respond best to a subset of stimuli within its receptive field. This property is called neuronal tuning. In the earlier visual areas neurons have simpler tuning.
