2 In a vacuum, light travels at a constant speed of ~186,000 miles/sec. So if the frequency of the oscillation varies, the distance between peaks (or wavelength) also varies. (vertical) Route within the retina Rods and Cones Bipolar Cells Ganglion Cells The axons of the ganglion cells form the optic nerve 2
3 Eye movement Although each fixation generates a different sensation at the level of the retina, the brain creates a single perception Yarbus, 1967 Why have two of them? Convergence : eyes must turn slightly inward to focus when objects are close Binocular disparity: difference between the images on the two retinas Both are greater when objects are close provides brain with a 3-D image and distance information 3
4 Sensory neurons for vision RODS and CONES: Specialized neurons that respond to light with changes in their membrane potential Photoreceptors: Rods and Cones RODS: ~120 million rods Scotopic Vision (skotos=darkness) Sensitive to brightness, but not color (shades of gray) 4
5 Photoreceptors: Rods and Cones RODS: Many rods converge onto one retinal ganglion cell Responsible for low-light light vision Not present at all in fovea Photoreceptors: Rods and Cones CONES: ~6 million cones Photopic Vision (photos=light) Sensitive to color 5
6 Photoreceptors: Rods and Cones CONES: A single retinal ganglion cell receives signals from one (or few) cones. Responsible for high acuity vision (fine detail) Fovea contains only cones Rods and Cones The outer segment of a photoreceptor contains hundreds of lamellae. Within the lamellae you find photopigments- molecules that contain an opsin and a retinal. (E.g. rhodopsin) 6
7 Rhodopsin Rhodopsin is a receptor that responds to light instead of to neurotransmitters (photons bind to it) When rhodopsin is exposed to light, it breaks down and the opsin bleaches. The effect of the bleaching is a change in the release of NT Not the way you might think! Strange but true The effect of light is to turn receptor cells OFF darkness turns them ON! Remember that receptors have a spontaneous firing rate: They do NOT fire action potentials, but graded potentials The effect of receptors firing is inhibition of the bipolar cells 7
8 Transduction: how light becomes neural signals A cone or rod actually releases LESS neurotransmitter when stimulated by light! Rhodopsin molecules are bleached by light, causing hyperpolarization of rods. Thus, inhibition: less release of neurotransmitter (glutamate) Result is: depolarization of bipolar cell (= more release of neurotransmitter) Ganglion cell is more likely to fire (generally) The effect of a bleached photopigment is that a the photoreceptor s membrane potential changes. Receptor s membrane potential affects release of NT onto bipolar cells. Bipolar cells speak to ganglion cells, which bring information to the brain. 8
9 So in the dark Photoreceptors release enough NT to prevent bipolar cells from triggering ganglion cells. Ganglion cells, by NOT firing, report to the brain: no light And in the light? Cone and Rod Vision Distribution of rods and cones Only cones are found at the fovea!! 9
10 Cone and Rod Vision Less convergence in cones, increasing acuity while decreasing sensitivity More convergence in rod system, increasing sensitivity while decreasing acuity So we have a response from a ganglion cell now what? Bundle of ganglion cell axons exiting the eye: blind spot No receptors where information exits the eye: Visual system uses information from cells around the blind spot for completion, completion, filling in the blind spot 10
11 From the Eyes to the Visual Cortex Lateral Geniculate Nucleus A nucleus within the thalamus ( relay center ) receives information from the retina and projects to primary visual cortex. Contains six layers of neurons each layer receives information from only 1 eye. First two layers: magnocellular Next four layers: parvocellular 11
12 M and P channels Magnocellular Larger cell bodies Responsive to movement Input primarily from rods Parvocellular Small cell bodies Responsive to color, fine details Input primarily from cones M and P channels Layers 1, 4, 6- contra Layers 2, 3, 5- ipsi 12
13 From the Eyes to the Visual Cortex The visual system is organized retinotopically: The left hemiretina of each eye (right visual field) connects to the right lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) the right hemiretina (left visual field) connects to the left LGN Coding of Visual Information 13
14 Coding of information in the retina For any sensory neuron, a receptive field is the place in which a stimulus will cause the neuron to fire. The receptive fields in the fovea are smaller than in the rest of the retina. Receptive Fields Many ganglion cells have receptive fields with a center-surround organization: excitatory and inhibitory regions separated by a circular boundary Some cells are on- center and some are off-center 14
15 What does color get us? What does color get us? 15
16 Why can you visualize red (imagine a fire- truck) and you can imagine a reddish yellow but it is difficult (impossible?) to imagine a reddish green or a bluish-yellow?! Color Mixing vs. Pigment Mixing 16
17 Color vision theories Trichromatic theory: there are 3 different receptors (types of cones) in the eye, each sensitive to a single hue (red, green, blue) Color vision theories Trichromatic theory: there are 3 different receptors (types of cones) in the eye, each sensitive to a single hue (red, green, blue) Because Young noted that any color could be accounted for by mixing just 3 lights in various proportions 17
18 Trichromatic Theory At the level of the retina, cones code for three wavelengths of light (different opsins): Short (S), Medium (M), Long (L): blue, green, red 18
19 19
20 The precise distribution of cones varies from person to person, but generally speaking blue sensitive cones are less common than red and green cones Image from David Williams, U of Rochester Color Blindness Protanopia: no red cones see yellow and blue, red and green hues confused Deuteranopia: no green cones red and green hues confused Tritanopia: blue cones lacking or faulty world seen in reds and greens, no blue 20
21 Those with normal color vision should read the number 8. Those with red-green color vision deficiencies (protanopia, deuteranopia) should read the number 3. Total color blindness should not be able to read any numeral. The trichromatic theory doesn t tell the whole story 21
22 The trichromatic theory doesn t tell the whole story The retinal ganglion cells code for complementary colors. This is known as opponent-process process coding Another type of ganglion cell only encodes brightness: black-white 22
23 Opponent Process Theory Ganglion cells Three types Red/green, yellow/blue, black/white Each cell represents an opponent process system Resting behavior in red/green cells is mid-level rate of response For R+G-, rate increases when red is present, decreases when green is present (opposite for R-G+) Yellow/blue (Y+B-) increases when both red and green are present, decreases when blue is present Opponent Process Theory Opposing retinal processes enable color vision ON red green blue yellow black white OFF green red yellow blue white black 23
24 Reddish-green? Bluish-Yellow? You can t imagine them because ganglion cells that signal red or green (or yellow or blue) can only increase or decrease rate of firing, they can t do both at once!! 24
25 The complementary after-effect effect is caused by the fact that after adaptation, locations stimulated by green light will be less sensitive to green than to red, and vice versa. Since white light contains all colors and stimulates all photoreceptors equally, those that have been green adapted will fire red to white light (and vice versa)- a larger red than green signal will be generated. It s the local imbalance between the red and green inputs to the opponent mechanism that generates the (relatively weak) color after-effects. effects. We haven t even reached the cortex yet! Primary visual cortex (Striate Cortex, V1) Visual Association cortex (extrastriate) 25
26 Primary Visual Cortex (V1, Striate Cortex) ~140 million neurons just in V1! Retinotopic Organization Information received at adjacent portions of the retina remains adjacent in V1. More cortex is devoted to areas of high acuity. acuity. (Just like the disproportionate representation of sensitive body parts in somatosensory cortex!) About 25% of primary visual cortex is dedicated to processing input from the fovea. 26
27 Striate Cortex Six principal layers of striate cortex Processing in Striate Cortex Layers 2 and 3 receive information from the parvocellular layers and koniocellular layers of the LGN. Cells are grouped together in blobs Cells within blobs are sensitive to color Cells outside blobs are sensitive to orientation, movement, binocular disparity 27
28 Orientation and Movement Most neurons in V1 are sensitive to orientation: if a line or edge appears in their receptive field, they respond best when it is at a certain angle Receptive Fields in Striate Cortex Most neurons in V1 are either Simple receptive fields are rectangular with on and off regions, or Complex also rectangular, larger receptive fields, respond best to a particular stimulus anywhere in its receptive field 28
29 Receptive Fields in Striate Cortex SIMPLE Rectangular On and off regions, like cells in layer IV Orientation and location sensitive All are monocular COMPLEX Rectangular Larger receptive fields Do not have static on and off regions Not location sensitive Motion sensitive Many are binocular Orientation and Movement Simple cells: receptive fields are rectangular with on and off regions, organized in an opponent fashion 29
30 Orientation and Movement Complex cells: also rectangular, larger receptive fields, respond best to a particular stimulus anywhere in its receptive field, especially if there is movement in the right direction (no inhibitory surround) Orientation and Movement Hypercomplex cells- respond best to a particular orientation, but have inhibitory region: they code for ends of lines! 30
31 Beyond Striate Cortex Fundamentally, the coding in striate cortex is for features: : color, orientation, spatial frequency, retinal disparity Perception requires the combination of these features into an integrated whole! This occurs in extrastriate cortex Dorsal and Ventral Streams Dorsal stream: striate cortex dorsal prestriate cortex posterior parietal cortex The where pathway (location and movement), or Pathway for control of behavior (e.g. reaching) Ventral stream: : striate cortex ventral prestriate cortex inferotemporal cortex The what pathway (color and shape), or Pathway for conscious perception of objects 31
32 63 PET study of where/what dichotomy 32
33 Not a fixed feed-forward forward system! Image from Wagner and Kline 33
34 Visual Agnosia Deficits in visual form perception NOT blindness! Caused by damage to visual association areas in ventral stream Video. Prosopagnosia Damage to the fusiform face area (FFA) results in prosopagnosia. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography reveals a reduction in the volume of the inferior longitudinal fasciculus in the brains of 6 patients with congenital prosopagnosia (top). (From Thomas et al 2008) 34
35 The lateral occipital complex is activated in response to a wide variety of objects. It seems possible that different categories of objects are processed at least in part in different subregions. Also in the ventral stream is the extrastriate body area Seems to be particularly responsive to body parts 35
