2. What happens after transduction?
- Receptor signals are transmitted to the cortex through the different relative pathways
- Receptor signals are combined to capture different properties of the physical stimulus. They transform from graded to action potentials
- Receptor signals are combined to capture different properties of the physical stimulus. They transform from action to graded potentials
3. How are receptors distributed?
- Non-uniformly. For example, there is a high density cones approx 5 degrees from fovea (good vision), but inside there are 0 (blind spot)
- Non-uniformly. For example, there is a high density cones approx 10 degrees from fovea (blind spot), but inside there are 0 (good vision)
- Uniformly. For example, there is an equal distribution of rods and cones on the neural retina
4. From the nuclei, where next?
- The primary visual cortex
- The cortex, first the primary sensory cortex and then to the appropriate cortex for the representation (e.g visual)
- The cortex, first the somatosensory cortex and then to the appropriate cortex for the representation (e.g visual)
5. What makes neurons responsible for transduction suitable for the changing environmental conditions in which we live?
- They have a sliding range that they operate over, so in vision, you can see from one to a million photons
- They have a set range that they uniquely operate over.
