Chapter 6
Across
- 2. these cells do not respond to the exact location of a stimulus, but rather to a pattern of light in a particular orientation
- 3. where light enters the eye through an opening in the center of the iris
- 11. the theory proposing that we see color through three kinds of cones that are each more sensitive to a different color
- 15. a part of the thalamus, where most ganglion axons go
- 18. the theory that the cortex compares information from parts of the retina to determine the brightness and color for each area
- 19. also known as area V1 or the striate cortex
- 20. tiny area specialized for acute and detailed vision
Down
- 1. the discrepancy between what the right and left eyes see
- 4. inability to recognize faces
- 5. the theory that we perceive color in terms of opposites
- 6. that area in visual space that excites or inhibits it
- 7. have small cell bodies and small receptive fields, are mostly in or near the fovea
- 8. neurons with larger cell bodies and receptive fields, distributed equally throughout the retina
- 9. the reduction of activity in one neuron by activity in neighboring neurons
- 10. stimulation from both eyes
- 12. a cell with a receptive field with fixed excitatory and inhibitory zones
- 13. the stream through parietal cortex, the “where” pathway
- 14. the rear surface of the eye that is lined with visual receptors
- 16. the stream through the temporal cortex, the “what” pathway
- 17. the blurring of vision for lines in one direction
