Stimulus Recognition Flashcards
LGN
lateral geniculate nucleus
Layer LGN
6 layers
Function of layers in LGN
alternate input from each eye
LGN organisation
retinotopically
Ganglion cell axon connections
1:1 with LGn projection neurons
Thalamic relay station
LGN
Receptive fields of LGN neurons
similar to receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells
Local interneurons present in
LGN
Local interneurons in LGN means
processing is occuring
Ventral stream identifies
object identity
Dorsal stream identifies
object where location
Object recognition includes
scale invariance, orientation invariance
How is object recognition studied
modeling, electrophysiology, lesions
Complexity neurons ventral stream
complexity of responses increases along the ventral stream
Key features of cortical structure
layering, columns and blobs
