Lab 8 - Special senses Flashcards
Peri visual info fall on what part of the retina
nasal retina
Medial visual field falls on what part of the retina
temporal retina
Lower VF pathway
upper retina upper LGN upper loop upper visual primary cortex
upper VF pathway
lower retina lower LGN lower loop lower visual primary cortex
lesion to the optic nerve
losing all of the info for that side (that eye)
lesion to the optic chasm
– lose the nasal retinal info, peri vision of both eyes
what is the optic tract carrying
all of the visual information for on VF
Left optic tract is carrying what info
carrying right visual field
what structure do we go to after the optic tract
LGN
two loops from the lGN
upper and lower
Lower (Myers) loop goes to what
lower visual cortex through the temporal lobe
upper loop goes throught what
upper primary visual cortex
Goes through the parietal lobe
when do central and peri vision separate
the cortex
Central visual cortex space
larger portion of the cortex
Peri vision cortex space
smaller portion of the cortex
Central vision sparing
Lesion – need to take out a large section of the cortex to take out central vision
this only happens at the level of the visual cortex, this that only place were central and peri are separate
