Document Summary
Lecture 5: horseshoe crab using a simple creature makes studying this easier, the eyes are large enough that you can isolate the effects and stimulate a single receptor (one eye) Inhibitory signal decreases the chance that a neuron will fire (opposite of excitatory, which increases the chance that a neuron will fire). 88 b/c you reach b, and you have 100 10 (left neighbor, still in same region) 2 (right neighbor lateral inhibition is different b/c the intensity is different now that you are in the c. & d region, not the a & b region): you are basically summing up the original. Shows where you will see dark spots/the illusion, and where you will not see them: initial value for receptor a is set @ 100. All of its neighbours (the points around a) are going to pass on lateral inhibition. The points that are in the white areas are.
