Document Summary

Afferent nerve - carrying info from receptor to brain. Optic nerve > superior colliculus (eye movement) Release of nt cause ring in auditory nerve > cochlear nucleus (stay or cross over) Receptor depolarizing > vdchannels cause ap > First order neurons enter through dorsal horn > travel to dorsal column nuclei (medulla oblongata) > synapse onto second order neuron > cross over in medial lemiscus . > synapse onto third order neuron in thalamus > s1 (parietal lobe) > first order enter through dorsal root > travel in dorsal horn > moves up/ down a few segments of spinal chord > synapse onto second order neuron in substantia gelatinosa. > synapse onto third order neuron in thalamus > s1. Nerves bundle in nucleus of the solitary tract to form one > travel and synapse on thalamus. Other cortical areas lgn- centre surround receptive eld. Sts: how gaze is directed memory processes. Motion: v5 v1 (cells eg. end stop) mt mst.
