  6. 12. This window is the membrane of the inner ear.
  7. 14. The ganglion cell axons form this type of nerve, which exists through the back of the eye.
  8. 18. This theory states: like keys on a piano, each area along the basillar membrane of the cochlea can only respond to a specific frequency.
  9. 19. Voluntary eye movements.
  10. 20. Sensory information is coded by which type of cells
  11. 21. The smaller the dot, the farther you have to move it into your _______ field.
  12. 22. The rods and cones of the retina make synapses with _______ cells and bipolar cells.
  13. 23. About 70% of all infants have blurring of vision for lines in one direction, which is caused by an asymmetric curvature of the eyes.
  14. 25. The ability to respond in limited ways to visual information without perceiving it consciously.
  15. 26. It is the perception of the intestate of a sound wave
  16. 28. Both rods and cones contain _______.
  17. 30. Cells that are located closer to the center of the eye and send their messages to ganglion cells.
  18. 32. Neurons with small cell bodies and small receptive fields are mostly in or near the fovea.
  19. 34. The trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory cannot easily explain color _______, the ability to recognize colors despite changes in lighting.
  20. 37. This is better described as color vision deficiency.
  21. 38. An inability to recognize objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision is called visual _______ (meaning "visual lack of knowledge").
  22. 39. It is the number of compressions per second of a sound, measured in hertz.
  23. 42. Loudness is determined by the number of _______ cells.
  24. 43. The inability to recognize faces due to damage of several brain areas.
  25. 48. This stream through the temporal cortex is called the "what" pathway, because ti is specialized for identifying and recognizing objects.
  26. 49. This part of the inner ear contains three fluid filled tunnels.
  27. 52. Light striking the rods and cones _______ their spontaneous output.
  28. 53. This stream goes through the parietal cortex.
  29. 54. Cells in the _______ temporal cortex respond to identifiable objects.
  30. 56. Light enters the eye through and opening in the center of the iris.
  31. 57. What results from the stimulation of structures on the taste buds?
  32. 58. This type of deafness can be inherited or caused by prenatal problems and early childhood disorders.
  33. 60. senses allow animals to find food, avoid danger, and even find mates.
  34. 61. This wave is a compression of air, water, or another medium (like gas or plasma)
Down
  1. 1. A gyrus brain area of the inferior temporal cortex that recognizes faces.
  2. 2. Stereoscopic depth perception requires the brain to detect __________ disparity.
  3. 3. Certain children are born with this, it's known as the "lazy eye," a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction.
  4. 4. It is an input stimulation from both eyes.
  5. 6. Unlike simple cells, this cell does not respond to the exact location of a stimulus.
  6. 8. This is a type of detector-neurons whose responses indicate the presence of a particular feature.
  7. 10. This cell has a receptive field with fixed excitatory and inhibitory zones.
  8. 11. The cell type of visual cortex cell that resembles complex cells; responds best to stimuli of a precisely limited type, anywhere in a large receptive field, with a strong inhibitory field at one end of its field.
  9. 13. Each cell in the visual system of the brain has a _______ field, which is the area in visual space that excites or inhibits it.
  10. 15. In this theory, the color is perceived through the relative rates of response by three kinds of cones, each one maximally sensitive to a different set of wavelengths.
  11. 16. This blindness is an impaired ability to perceive movement.
  12. 17. These cells are the auditory receptor.
  13. 24. Neurons with larger cell bodies and receptive fields and are distributed evenly throughout the retina.
  14. 27. This is a frequent or constant ringing in the ear.
  15. 29. The familiar structure of flesh and cartilage attached to each side of the head.
  16. 31. This cell gets its information from bipolar cells and send it to other bipolar, and ganglion cells.
  17. 33. Secondary Auditory Cortex corresponds to what?
  18. 35. Sound waves enter the auditory canal and strike this membrane.
  19. 36. This is a color after-image, that results of staring at a colored object for a prolonged length of time and the looking at a white surface, the image is seen as a negative image, with a replacement of red with green, green with red, yellow and blue with each other, and black and white with each other.
  20. 37. This deafness is the failure of the bones of the middle ear to transmit sound waves properly to the cochlea.
  21. 40. It is the perception of the frequency of a sound wave.
  22. 41. Hair cells are rooted in the _______ membrane.
  23. 44. For each aspect of visual experience, researchers identify a __________ period.
  24. 45. Most ganglion cell axons go to the lateral _______ nucleus, part of the thalamus.
  25. 46. This process theory perceives color on a continuum from red to green, another from yellow to blue, and another from white to black.
  26. 47. when a horizontal cell is excited, it _______ the bipolar cells.
  27. 50. This theory is a combination of the words retina and cortex.
