Across
  1. 5. these cells stop the retina from sending messages to the brain
  2. 6. inability to recognize objects
  3. 9. people with damage to this may experience motion blindness
  4. 11. type of MST that moves when an object moves
  5. 13. larger, receptive neurons that respond best to moving stimuli
  6. 14. involved in both peripheral and night vision
  7. 15. helps you focus on objects at various distances; adjustable
  8. 17. type of MST that responds when the whole scene expands, contracts, or rotates
  9. 19. band of tissue that gives eyes their color
  10. 20. type of ganglion cells in the fovea
  11. 23. this theory states we perceive color in terms of paired opposites
  12. 24. opening where light enters through the eye
  13. 25. type of cell responsible for complex processing and refining information sent to ganglion cells
Down
  1. 1. small neurons, found throughout the retina
  2. 2. this theory states there are three types of cones and each respond to certain wavelengths
  3. 3. rear surface of the eye, lined with receptors
  4. 4. blurring of vision caused by asymmetric curvature of eyes
  5. 6. located in occiptal lobe; responsible for first stage of visual processing
  6. 7. where axons of ganglion cells join together
  7. 8. small area on the retina that aids in detailed vision processing
  8. 9. these neurons enable you to distinguish between the result of eye movements and result of object movements
  9. 10. sharpens contrasts to emphasize borders of objects
  10. 12. due to no visual receptors present
  11. 16. difficulty identifying a person; associated with fusiform gyrus
  12. 18. where axons from each eye cross over to the opposite side of brain
  13. 21. small, receptive neurons that respond best to visual details and color
  14. 22. found in fovea; involved in color vision
