Document Summary
Practice short answer : retina pathways neuron roles etc: 2 pathways vertical from photoreceptors to bipolar cells gang cells then projecting to brain. Other pathways includes other cells, emecrene cells and horizontal cells. Horizontal and amacrene cells interconnenct neighboring bipolar cells laterally in a way that is working in an inhibitory fashion. Records things in binary cords, there is qualitative differences, have a small number of central processing units, only have 4 mechanisms that do it (in a computer), in the retina there are hundreds of neurons that do it. One of the major libraries in the world only owned 122 books, they were written 1 by 1 by hand. With the invention of printin press, could mass produce books. Gutenbergs printin press was not the first pritinng idea, it was first done in china and japan but his became the biggest invention. The way to represent language is more spefici when you use letter alphabet.
