Q

bitemporal hemianopsia

A

loss of information frm the nasal retina

can result from compression of the optic chiasm (pituitary tumor or aneurysm of circle of willis)

Q

homonomous hemianopsia

A

loss of vision in half of the visual field where the same portion of the visual field in each eye is lost

produced by any lesion more central than the optic chiasm

Q

simple cortical cells

A

several on center ganglion cells in a row

rectangular receptive field–grid of rteina- depends on orientation of stimulus in that small piece of retina

Q

complex cortical cells

A

larger receptive fields
ona nd off responses throughout
sensitive to rientation and length
best input is end of a line of that orientation

Q

orientation columns

A

cells arranged in vertical columns, so that if you go down through a column all of the cells will have the same orientation specificity

Q

strabismus

A

misalignment of two eyes

  • -usually due to improper control of gaze by eye muscles or due to weakness or damage to one of muscles
  • -results in lack of coordination between eyes

Q

esotropia

A

convergent strabismus; cross-eyed

18
Q

exotropia

A

divergent strabismus

walleyed

19
Q

Parallel processing

A

abstract information about individual properties of the visual scene using anatomically separate parts of cerebral cortex

20
Q

3 key components of vision

A

motion detection
depth perception
color detection

21
Q

primary visual cortex

A

V1/area 17

medial surface occipital lobe; above and below calcarine sulcus

22
Q

area 18

A

v2 and v3
occiptial lobe
depth perception

23
Q

area 17

A

v4
occipital lobe
color vision

24
area 19
V5 middle temporal area motion detection, spatial relatonships, depth perception
25
ventral stream
``` from V1--V4-->temporal lobe object recognition (includingcolor) ```
26
dorsal stream
frm V1-->MT-->parietal lobe | motion detection; depth perception
27
Akinetopsia
motion blindness
28
motion can be detected in two ways
image movement | eye movement
29
two main approaches used for depth perception
monocular cues | stereoscopic cues-
30
stereopsis
image of an object is on non-corresponding spots of the retinas in the eyes
31
binocular cells
provide stereoscopic cues--thought to be the basis of depth perception cortical cells that have input from both eyes from slightly shifted parts of the retina frm each eye, max stimulus behind or in front point of fixation
32
preceiving depth with one eye
``` previous familiarity relative size interposition linear perspective shadows and illumination motion parallax ```
33
color constancy
objects do not change their color depending on light source
34
three characteristics of color
hue-cones saturation- amount cones are stiulated brightness-total effect of stimulus
35
color opponent cells
ganglion cells in retina that have receptive fields containing cone photoreceptors
36
double opponent cortial cell
red+,green- center with red-, green+ surround
37
aperceptive agnosia
inability to pull out and separate /recognize the image of an object from the background
38
synesthesia
involuntary physical experience of crossmodal linkage (stimulation of one sensory modality evokes another different modality)
39
Q
1
40
four places the optic chiasm projects
scn pretectal area superior colliculus lateral geniculate nucleus
41
optic radiation goes to
``` meyers loop (below calcarine sulcus in occipital lobe) visual cortex (above calcarine sulcus in occipital lobe) ```
42
Meyer's loop
upper 1/2 visual field | --inferior retinal quadrants
43
visual cortex
lower 1/2 visual field | upper retinal quad
