PSYB51H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Long Term Ecological Research Network, Lateral Geniculate Nucleus, Koniocellular Cell
Document Summary
To alter the course of a wave of energy that passes into something from another medium, as water does to light entering it from the air. A unit of measurement of the optic power of a lens. It is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length, in meters. A small pit, near the center of the macula, that contains the highest concentration of cones, and no rods. The portion of the retina that produces the highest visual acuity and serves as the point of. The ability to perceive via the sense organs. Extreme responsiveness to radiation, especially to light of a speci c wavelength. The ability to respond to transmitted signals. On bipolar cell - responds to an increase in light captured by cones. P ganglion cell - a small ganglion cell that receives excitatory input from single midget bipolar cells in the central retina and feeds the parvocellular layer of the lateral geniculate nucleus.
