PHYSIOLOGY OF COLOR VISION LECTURE 4 PHYSIOLOGY OF COLOR VISION

Color Vision Concepts Colors have three attributes hue, intensity, and saturation (degree of freedom from dilution with white). For any color there is a complementary color that, when properly mixed with it, produces a sensation of white Black is the sensation produced by the absence of light, but it is probably a positive sensation because the blind eye does not “see black;” rather, it “sees nothing.”

Color Vision 3 primary colors Tricolor Mechanism of Color Detection: When red, green, and blue monochromatic lights are appropriately mixed in different combinations Each cone system respond to its color at a different threshold than needed to sense other colors (red cones respond to red or yellow color at a lower threshold than to green color) Perception of white is due to equal stimulation of blue & red & green cones. There is no wave length corresponds to white, white is a combination of all wave lengths

COLOR VISION THEORY (YOUNG–HELMHOLTZ THEORY) There are 3 kinds of cone photopigments & are sensitive to one of the 3 primary colors Blue cone system: Conatins S pigment (blue sensation pigment) which respond to short wave length ( 440nm senses the blue color) Green cone system: Contains M pigment (green sensation pigment) which respond to middle wave length ( 535nm senses the green color & less to yellow) & absorb light at the green portion. Red cone system: Contains L pigment ( red sensation pigment) which respond to large wave length at or > 535 nm so senses the red & yellow color & absorb light at the red portion.

Light absorption by the pigment of the rods and by the pigments of three color-receptive cones of human retina.

Perception of colors Depends on wave length, amount of light absorbed, threshold of stimulus & frequency of impulses from cones perception of orange is due to stimulation of 99% of red cones & 42% of green cones & 0% of blue cones( so ratio is 99:42: 0) perception of yellow is due to stimulation of50% of red cones & 50% of green cones & 0% of blue cones( so ratio is 50:50: 0) perception of blue is due to stimulation of 0% of red cones & 0% of green cones & 97% of blue cones( so ratio is 0:0: 97 )

NEURAL MECHANISMS OF COLOR VISION Color is mediated by ganglion cells that subtract or add input from one type of cone to input from another type 3 TYPES OF NEURAL PATHWAYS PROJECT TO BLOBS IN V1 and layer 4: red– green pathway that signals differences between L and M-cone Responses blue–yellow pathway that signals differences between S-cone and the sum of L- and M-cone responses luminance pathway that signals the sum of L- and M-cone

COLOR BLINDNESS Gene for rhodopsin is on chromosome 3 Gene for blue sensitive S cone pigment is on chromosome 7 Gene for red & green sensitive cone pigment is on X chromosome. when a single group of color receptive cones is absent ( due to absence of there gene) the person can not see or distinguish some colors from others

COLOR BLINDNESS Red-green blindness:- Green & red cones see different colors between wave length 525-675 nm & distinguish them. If either of these cones are absent, the person can not distinguish 4 colors ( red –green-yellow- orange) & he can not distinguish red from green (primary colors) It is x-linked disease (the gene is on x chromosome). Females from color blind fathers are carriers and transmit the disease to ½ of their sons.

Chromatic theories of color vision Trichromats:-have 3 cone pigments( normal or have slight weakness in detecting red or green or blue color Dichromats:-have only 2 cone pigments systems only so he is completely blind to red or green or blue ( so they may have protanopia, deuteranopia,or tritanopia) they get color by mixing only 2 of the primary colors. Monochromats:-have only one cone system or loss of all so see only blackor grey or have no color perception.

NOPIA (BLINDNESS) NOMALY (WEAKNESS) 1-Protanopia (red-blindness): no red cones system so person has vision in shorter spectrum wave lengths. weakness protanomaly 2-Deutranopia (green -blindness):-no green cones system-so person see only long & short wave length) . weakness  deutranomaly. 3-Tritanopia (blue -blindness) : no blue cones system. weakness  tritanomaly.
