Chapter 5: Visual
Across
- 1. Blurring of vision for lines in one direction
- 5. Inability to visualize imagery
- 7. Neurons with fixed excitatory and inhibitory zones in their receptive fields
- 8. Thalamic nucleus that receives incoming visual information
- 11. Discrepancy between what the left and right eyes see
- 14. Small cell bodies located in or near the fovea which respond to visual details and color
- 17. Neurons whose responses indicate the presence of a particular feature
- 18. Has a strong inhibitory area at one end of their bar-shaped receptive field
- 19. Cell that receives input from receptors and delivers inhibitory input to bipolar cells
- 20. When experiences have a particularly strong and enduring influence that relates to visual experience
Down
- 2. Larger cell bodies distributed evenly throughout the retina which respond to moving stimuli
- 3. Imagining a visual scene almost as vividly as actually seeing it
- 4. Ability to respond in some way to visual information after extensive damage to area V1
- 6. Responsible for receiving and processing visual information
- 9. Condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction
- 10. Small ganglion cells distributed throughout the retina
- 12. Reduction of activity in one neuron by activity in neighboring neurons
- 13. Responds to a pattern of light in a particular orientation within its large receptive field
- 15. Located in the occipital cortex
- 16. Portion of the visual field that excites or inhibits a specific cell in the visual system
