What is the purpose of the superior colliculus in the visual pathway?
To help coordinate visual input with other senses.

What does the ventral stream process?
Form and color; it projects to the temporal lobe.
Xem thẻ ở đây, hoặc sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What does the dorsal stream process?
Motion and depth; it projects to the parietal lobe.

Which eye structure provides the most focusing power?
The Cornea.
Xem thẻ ở đây, hoặc sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What is accommodation in the context of vision?
The process where the lens adjusts its curvature to fine-focus an image.

What is Myopia?
Near-sightedness where the focal point is in front of the retina; fixed with diverging (concave) lenses.

What is Hyperopia?
Far-sightedness where the focal point is behind the retina; fixed with converging (convex) lenses.

Where are cones primarily concentrated?
In the fovea.
Xem thẻ ở đây, hoặc sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What type of vision do rods support?
Scotopic (low-light) vision; they are monochrome and have poor acuity.

Which cells in the retina pass signals to ganglion cells?
Bipolar cells.
Xem thẻ ở đây, hoặc sign up to study with spaced repetition.
What is transduction in vision?
Photons cause isomerization of photopigment → hyperpolarization of the receptor → graded signals to bipolar cells → action potentials in ganglion cells.

What do simple cells respond best to?
Lines of a specific width and orientation in their receptive field.
