Visual Processing and the Visual Cortex

  • We learned about the structure of the eye in the Anatomy and Physiology series. But how do we process visual information? Light hits the retina at the back of the eye, and then what happens? Well quite a lot, to be honest! We have to go deeper regarding retinal structure, neural pathways to the brain, and the regions of the brain that receive and process this information, which are collectively referred to as the visual cortex. So let's get a closer look!

    [10:17] Just a tweak: glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter, and this is not an exception in the eye. The way it inhibits signal transduction, rather, is by stimulating the release of GABA in horizontal cells, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

      > What determines which wavelength of light a particular cone is activated by
      The absorption spectrum of its visual pigment.
      > Hypothetically, could they be altered to see into IR or UV wavelengths
      Hypothetically, yes, though the problem is not as much about finding a suitable pigment, as it is about passing through and focusing IR or UV light. Basically, different types (wavelength ranges) of EM radiation require different materials and focusing systems. For example, liquid water is transparent for visible EM radiation, but opaque for UV and IR radiation.

      well if by heal you mean improve inborn visual deficits, i don't know enough to say definitively, but i would imagine that diet can't really have any effect. on the other hand in terms of maintaining eye health and normal vision as you age, i have heard there is a link with certain nutrients and that sounds pretty reasonable.

    How did the color cones "evolve" to work only in the visible spectrum range. The eye would provide no way for the animal to see during the "evolution" process if say the photoreceptors were working in the Microwave range. Your video is good Dave but there is way more to explain if you want us to buy into your evolution idea. It appears from an engineering perspective that the eye had to be designed to work in the visible spectrum from the beginning. I noticed you left out the motion sensing circuits in the retina that wire to the Superior colliculus and then to the Tectospinal tract to create our visual reflexes, like when a ball is coming at your head. The eye does much more than just compress vision.
