Q

What are characteristics in the motion during cognitive stage?

A

Q

In the geniculostriate pathway:

Where does visual information get projected?

A

Thalamus
* Specifically, the seeing part called the LGN (Lateral geniculate nucleus)
* Looks like a bent knee

20
Q

In the geniculostriate pathway:

What is the geniculostriate pathway exactly?

A

The pathway from LGN to V1

21
Q

True or False:

Geniculostriate pathway is the main pathway that information gets to the primary visual cortex in humans

A

True

22
Q

In the geniculostriate pathway:

Where can V1 project to?

A
  1. Inferior Temporal Lobe/Inferotemporal Cortex
  2. Posterior Parietal Cortex
23
Q

In the geniculostriate pathway:

Describe the visual pathway from V1 to the Inferior Temporal Lobe

A

Visual pathway that supports our ability to perceive objects
* A visuoperceptual pathway (e.x. allows us to differentiate apples and oranges)

24
Q

What is the V1 to Inferior Temporal Lobe visual pathway known as?

A

Ventral Visual Pathway

25
Q

In the geniculostriate pathway:

Describe the visual pathway from V1 to the Posterior Parietal Cortex

A

Visual pathway that supports our ability to move in response to stimulus
* An action pathway (e.x. allows us to move)

26
Q

What is the V1 to Posterior Parietal Cortex visual pathway known as?

A

Dorsal Visual Pathway

27
Q

What does PAM mean?

A

Perception/Action Model

28
Q

True or False:

An individual conscious/aware when using the geniculostriate pathway

A

True

29
Q

Describe:

Retinotectal Pathway

A

An older and simple pathway, has less neuron connections thus less synapses

30
Q

In the retinotectal pathway:

Visual stimulus is depicted by the…

A

Retina

31
Q

In the retinotectal pathway:

Where is visual information projected to from the retina?

A

Superior colliculus

32
Q

In the retinotectal pathway:

Where does the superior colliculus extend to?

A

Brain stem

33
Q

The brain stem contains what type of neurons? What does this allow in terms of sight?

A

Contains alpha motor neurons
* Allows eye movements
* Allows for action to occur rapidly, basically automatically

34
Q

True or False:

The retinotectal pathway is mediated consciously

A

False, it is mediated subcortically, meaning it is not conscious

35
Q

Can hand movements be controlled by the retinotectal pathway?

A

Yes

36
Q

What is at the back of the eye?

A

The retina, the photoreceptive layer

37
Q

What is the goal of the retina?

A

Take photons (light), make it into bioelectrical signals that can be interpreted by the CNS

38
Q

What type of cells are present on the retina?

A

Rods and Cones

39
Q

Describe:

Rod cells (6)

A
  • Achromatic (no colour information)
  • Equally dispersed about the retina (same number in peripheral and central vision)
  • Low spatial resolution
  • Respond to low light levels
  • Provides night vision
  • Scotopic vision
40
Q

Describe:

Cone cells (5)

A
  • Chromatic
  • Largely located in the centre of the retina (central vision/foveal vision)
  • High spatial resolution
  • Do not operate in low light levels
  • Photopic vision
41
Q

A
  1. L-cones
  2. M-cones
  3. S-cones
42
Q

How do the types of cone cells differ?

A

Operate at certain wavelengths

43
Q

State:

The wavelengths that the different cone cells operate

A
  1. L-cones: Red wavelengths
  2. M-cones: Green wavelengths
  3. S-cones: Blue wavelengths
44
Q

How can colour blindness be acquired?

A

Acquired after closed head injury, to ventral visual pathway

What is acquired color blindness called?

A

Achromatopsia

46
