Neural Pathways and Processing in the Visual System: From Retina to Primary Visual Cortex, Exercises of Human Biology
An overview of the neural pathways and processing stages in the visual system, from the retina to the primary visual cortex. Topics include the role of the optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), superior colliculus, primary visual cortex (V1), and the emergent properties of cortical cells such as orientation specificity, binocularity, local-to-global representation, and directional motion specificity. The document also touches upon the retinotopic layout of V1 and the concept of orientation hypercolumn and architecture.
