Q

What is Sherrington’s law?

A

Q

Which deviation is typically measured to be larger: primary or secondary?

Q

Why is there a tonic convergence of the ayes in the normal, resting state?

Q

What are M neurons particularly responsive to?

A

Moving objects

17
Q

What are the two primary neural systems of the retinogeniculocortical pathway?

A

Magnocellular (M) and parvocellular (P)

18
Q

Where does the magnocellular system (M) originate?

A

Parasol retinal ganglion cells

19
Q

Where does the parvocellular system (P) originate?

A

Midget ganglion cells

20
Q

What neural system accounts for approximately 80% of retinal input?

A

Parvocellular system (P)

21
Q

What is the primary function of the parvocellular system (P) system?

A

Object detail (color, shape, depth,etc.)

22
Q

Where does the koniocellular system (K) originate?

A

Bistratified ganglion cells

23
Q

What is the primary function of the koniocellullar system (K)?

A

Color vision (especially blue)

24
Q

Which layers of the LGB are parvocellular? Magnocellular?

A

1 to 4 (P), 5 to 6 (M)

25
What layers of the LGB receive input from the contralateral nasal retina?
1, 4, and 6
26
Which layers of the LGB receive input from the ipsilateral temporal retina?
2, 3, and 5
27
During gestation, when does maximal ganglion retinal cell count occur?
Week 18
28
