Presentation transcript:

The Human Visual System Vision Class The main topics covered here were: photoreceptors and ganglion cells in the retina. The photoreceptors are the input, the ganglion are the output to the brain. We also discussed the role of the ganglion cells in edge detection.

The Human Brain: Overall View Visual information goes from the eyes via the LGN in the thalamus to the back of the cortex

Each half of the visual field goes to a different hemisphere of the brain

Visual pathway

Hemifield neglect

Eye

Recording

Recording from a Neuron

Neurons Purkinje cells from cerebellum, dendrites showing calcium concentration

Synaptic connection

Synapse

Receptors Density - Fovea

Photoreceptors

Photo response Retinal (the chromophore) + opsin (rodopsin, cone-opsin) 11-cis retinal + photon → all trans retinal Activates transducin (a G- protein) Activates phosphodiesterase Breaks cGMP cGMP keep ionic channels open, now some close (one retinal → 500 cGMP) Cell hyperpolarization

Image Capture Huge dynamic range – μW/cm 2 Photons: poisson process. Noisy at low levels For low light: large receptors, slow integration Rods/cones, local adaptation,change of amplitude and time constant, motion deblur
