Abstract Bipolar cells serve as the bridge cell between the photoreceptor cell and the ganglion cell that located in the INL and span from the OPL down towards the IPL of the retina. Like the photoreceptor cell it also must transduce a chemical signal in order to signal ganglion cells or amacrine cells. The transduction pathway in the bipolar cell is different from the photoreceptor transduction pathway in that there are two distinct bipolar cells that do not use photons as the trigger but instead
the hair cells pick up movement in order to send a signal to the brain to interpret the sound. ii. The organ of corti is an extremely sensitive area of the cochlea. It transforms pressure waves into action potentials iii. After the sound is processed in the cochlea, the auditory information travels into the brain in order to be interpreted. 3. i. Retina- • Photoreceptors- detects light • Bipolar Cells- transmit signals from the photoreceptor to the ganglion cells • Ganglion Cells- carry
being viewed. Scene refers to the brains understanding of the surrounding environment and stimuli. Retinal processing is the communication of the photoreceptors with the bipolar cells, which connect with the ganglion cells and ganglion axons. The ganglion axons help form the optic nerve and carry information from the retina to the brain. Feature detecting is the process by which neurons known as feature detectors respond to visual stimuli in the surround environment, including lines and edges

Then 2 years later, Krause and Schum electrically stimulated a patient in his left occipital pole who has been hemianopic for 8 years and this produced similar phosphenes. A phosphene is a luminous image produced by mechanical stimulation of the retina. This proves that the visual cortex does not lose all its functions even through years of visual deprivation (Ong). From this Bommireddy 2 resulted in research into creating electronic prosthetics to allow people to have all or at least ... ...
in the retina, substituting for the damaged photoreceptors. When we open our eyes, millions of tiny events occur that allow us to see. Our pupils automatically constrict in accordance to the light level, the variable lens bends and adjusts to fit the distance of what we are looking, and our photoreceptors receive information in accordance to the previous factors. (This is extremely simplified, but it will suffice for now.) Photoreceptors are tiny, specialized neurons located in the retina at the
Visual Perception Any one given experience an organism perceives must incorporate several sensory systems, that involves numerous number of organs , that further more are comprised of millions upon millions of firing cells. Perception is not a direct mirroring of stimulus, but a complex chaotic patterns dependent on the simultaneously activity of neurons. This essay deals primarily with neurons from the optical sensory system. The outer ridge of the brain, known as the cerebral cortex begins
the back of your eye that are in the retina, these are connected to the bipolar cells and a set of nerves called the interneurons. The first step is the bipolar cells to hook up with the ganglion cells that lead out of the eye. From there the axons and the ganglion cells join with the optic nerve carrying messages from the eye to the brain. Next the axons of all of the ganglion cells join to form the optic nerve. This is taken to a place in the eye on the retina called the blind spot. The blind spot
is made up of different types of sensory receptors. These sensory receptors include thermo-receptors (specialised heat receptors), mechanoreceptors (specialised cells that senses pressure and distortion), chemo- receptors (specialised receptors cells that converts chemical signals in action potential), and photo- rectors (specialised cells that converts light signals in to chemical signals) and so on. In this complex system there are lots of neural mechanisms or physiological mechanisms that regulate
after the retina. In the case of presbyopia, the lens becomes hard due to age and makes it difficult for the ciliary muscles to contract. Since you cannot make the lens wider to accommodate for the shorter object distance the same thing occurs as stated in the hyperopic eye. Both of these problems can be corrected with a convex lens. Another less common problem can occur when the eyeball is too long, otherwise known as a myopic eye. In this case, the image forms before it reaches the retina and the
vision from each eye corresponds to the left hemisphere of the brain. For Techan, this means that instead of having one eye that he couldn’t understand the signals from and one eye that he could, he perceives the light from the right side of each retina while ignoring most of the left side. This causes him to need to scan images more intensely to create a model of what the image is in his
