Pregunta | Respuesta |
VISUAL RECEIVING AREA | Striate cortex |
IPSILATERAL EYE | Eye on the same side of the body as the LGN (Lateral Geniculate Nucleus) |
CONTRALATERAL EYE | Eye on the opposite side of the body from the LGN |
SIMPLE CORTICAL CELLS | Cells with side-by-side receptive fields |
END-STOPPED CELLS | Cells that fire to moving lines of a specific length or to moving corners or angles |
FEATURE DETECTORS | Features of the stimulus |
SELECTIVE ADAPTATION | If the neurons fire for long enough, they become fatigue or adapt; which can cause neuron´s firing rate to decrease or either the neuron firing less when that stimulus is immediately presented again |
GRATING´S STIMULI | Alternating bars |
GRATING´S CONTRAST THRESHOLD | Difference in intensity at which the bars can just barely be seen |
SELECTIVE REARING | If an animal is reared in an environment that contains only certain types of stimuli, then neurons that respond to these stimuli will become more prevalent |
NEURAL PLASTICITY/ EXPERIENCE-DEPENDENT PLASTICITY | Idea that the response properties of neurons can be shaped by perceptual experience |
BRAIN IMAGING | Number of techniques that result in images that show which areas of the brain are active |
OCULAR DOMINANCE | Preferential response to one eye |
CORTEX | Series of columns that alternate in ocular dominance in a left-right-left-right pattern |
HYPERCOLUMNS | Combination of all three types of columns |
ABLATION | Destruction or removal of tissue in the nervous system |
FEEDBACK | "Backward" flow of information. Provides information from high centers that influence the signals flowing into the system |
DISSOCIATIONS | Situations in which one function is absent while another function is present |
MODULE | Specialized structure to process information about a particular type of stimulus |
FUSIFORM FACE AREA (FFA) | Area specialized to respond to faces. Located in the fusiform gyrus on the underside of the brain directly below the IT cortex |
PROSOPAGNOSIA | Difficulty recognizing the faces of familiar people |
PARAHIPPOCAMPAL PLACE AREA (PPA) | Important information about spatial layout |
EXSTRASTRIATE BODY AREA (EBA) | Area activated by pictures of bodies and parts of bodies |
