4. Visual Cortex

where is our blind spot

where do the ganglion fibres in the retina leave to?

what is the point where the optic nerve may sometime cross over to the other hemisphere?

what are the nerves now know as once they've passed the optic chiasm?

full form of LGN

what kind of structure is the LGN & where does it receive its' input from?

what are the LGN's receptive fields like?

what is V1

where is it located?

what are the two ways the V1 is organised?

what is RM?

what is CM?

which part of the retina is represented the most/by the largest area of the cortex?

true or false: V1 cells do not have a baseline activity

what stimulus do the receptive fields of V1 cells respond to? who found this?

what is orientation selectivity

what are the 3 types of V1 cells with receptive fields?

what is the organisation of the simple cells' receptive field like?

what is orientation tuning

do simple cells display orientation tuning?

what stimulus do the receptive fields of complex cells respond to?

organisation of RF in complex cells

what do they respond best to & least to?

what are hypercomplex cells also known as?

what are their requirements for a stimulus that makes them fire?

will a hypercomplex cell respond to a stimulus that is moving in the preferred direction, is or preferred orientation, but longer than preferred?

At least how many other areas are there that process visual info?

what are the specialisations of v3, v4 & v5?

what are the areas like in terms of their relationship with each other?

what are the two types of processing stream for visual processing beyond V1?

what is the 'ventral' stream known as?

what is the dorsal visual stream known as? function?

what is the dorsal stream also known as?
