1
Q

Where are visual signals picked up

A

The retina

2
Q

Where do sensory neurones from the retina synapse with

A

Neurones in the hypothalamus

3
Q

Where do neurones travel to after the hypothalamus

A

To the primary visual cortex in the back of the brain

4
Q

How the left and rights eyes function in terms of what each eye views

A

The same parts of the left and right eye detect roughly the same part of the visual field

5
Q

How are the neurones carry signals from these similar visual fields organised

A

Organised into the same parts of the brain

6
Q

Where does the left side of each retina send signals to

A

The left side of the visual cortex

7
Q

Where does the right side of each retina send signals to

A

The right side of the visual cortex

8
Q

In the visual cortex what are cells from each eye organised into

A

Columns

9
Q

What does each column of cells in the visual cortex contain

A

Signals from a single part of the eye

10
Q

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

A

They are organised next to each other in the column
