Document Summary
Largely made of cones in humans: saccades: voluntary sweeping of eyes from one point to another. 11. fixations: pauses were eyes are semi-stationary/visual info taken in. 12. change blindness: failure to notice visual stimuli changes (photographs) when they occur. Involved in certain kinds of memory: migration: newly created neurons migrate from region of cell division. Neural tube: myelination: many axons that become myelinated by glial cells, neural crest: develops into pns. Formed by neural plates that break away as neural tube is developing: neural groove: groove that develops down center of neural plate, neural plate: patch of tissue on embryo, developing into ns. Visible after 18 days: neural tube: develops into cns. Supports, nourishes and cushions the cns: corpus callosum: largest cerebral commissure, composed of. 200million axons: dura mater: outermost and toughest of three meninges, pia mater: innermost and most delicate of three meninges. Adheres to surface of cns: ganglia: structures of pns composed largely of neural cell bodies.
