Document Summary

For future tests: focus on methods and terms; know the layout and parts of the brain; which hormones/chemicals are produced where in the brain; From lgn, light stimulation goes to v1 location which consists of: Simple cells sensitive to bars of light in a particular orientation and location. Complex cells sensitive to bars of light in a particular orientation but not location. Will be responsive to light in different locations as long as it is in the correct orientation. V2 location curves around v1 location of brain: Gives us information about curves in the world. Segregation takes place after v2 to help us identify what we are seeing and understand where they are in terms of depth and distance. Gives us more information about patterns (grids, crossing orientation, etc. ) Allows us to differential objects from each other (hammer vs. house )
