0
Q
Rods
A
Scoptic-dark
Low acuity,slower responders, many rods to 1 ganglion cell
1 photon to activate
1
Q
Photoreceptors
A
Rods and cones
2
Q
Cones
A
Phototropic
High acuity, color, fast responding, few cones to 1 ganglion cell, 100 photons of light to activate
3
Q
Converting lightwaves to neural activity
A
Light activates rhodopsin
-dissociates retinal and opsin/activates transducing
-transducig activates phosophodiasterase
Light activation produces hyper-polarization of rods/cones
4
Q
Areas of visual cortex
A
V1.V2, V3,V4, V5
Inferior temporal
5
Q
V1
A
(primary visual cortex)
6
Q
V2
A
Input from V1
Projects to V4 and back to V1
Simple cells like V1
Complex cells
7
Q
V5
A
Medial temporal
Processes motion
8
Q
V4
A
Processes color/shape
9
Q
Inferior temporal
A
Complex forms are processed
Influences by learning and experience
