Visual organisation Flashcards
Where are visual signals picked up
The retina
Where do sensory neurones from the retina synapse with
Neurones in the hypothalamus
Where do neurones travel to after the hypothalamus
To the primary visual cortex in the back of the brain
How the left and rights eyes function in terms of what each eye views
The same parts of the left and right eye detect roughly the same part of the visual field
How are the neurones carry signals from these similar visual fields organised
Organised into the same parts of the brain
Where does the left side of each retina send signals to
The left side of the visual cortex
Where does the right side of each retina send signals to
The right side of the visual cortex
In the visual cortex what are cells from each eye organised into
Columns
What does each column of cells in the visual cortex contain
Signals from a single part of the eye
How are signals from the same part of the retina organised in relation to signals from the same part of the retina in the right eye
They are organised next to each other in the column
