RETINAL GANGLION CELLS
• Have spontaneous activity• show action potentials• can be inhibited by light• can be excited by light• have concentric fields• have smaller fields in the fovea
• (they also respond in an interesting and surprising way to colour, but we’ll come back to that when we look at colour)

• is LIMITED (partial)• is ALREADY PROCESSED• is in the form of ACTION POTENTIALS• is DISTORTED (fovea more)• tells about EDGES (change)

DESTINATIONS OF THE VISUALPATHWAYS
1 Visual information is required for VISUAL REFLEXES aswell as PERCEPTION.
2 Three examples of visual reflexes are:
3 Perceptual pathway goes to the visual cortex via thethalamus (relay). The part of the thalamus that relays visualinformation to the visual part of the cortex is called theLATERAL GENICULATE NUCLEUS.

DESTINATIONS OF THE VISUALPATHWAYS
1 Visual information is required for VISUAL REFLEXES aswell as PERCEPTION.
2 Three examples of visual reflexes are:
3 Perceptual pathway goes to the visual cortex via thethalamus (relay). The part of the thalamus that relays visualinformation to the visual part of the cortex is called theLATERAL GENICULATE NUCLEUS.

Plotting the receptive fieldof a simple cell…..

Hubel & Wiesel described three types of cells in the cortex:
• simple• complex• hypercomplex
from their responses all vision is built up.
They received a NOBEL PRIZE for this work.
