What divides the occipital lobe from the temporal and parietal lobe?
(describe occipital lobe anatomy) |
|
Lingual gyrus houses
|
V2 and VP
|
Fusiform gyrus houses
|
V4
|
Calcarine sulcus
|
-contains much of V1 -separates upper and lower visual fields |
Name the connections of the visual cortex
|
|
What is the difference between the dorsal and ventral streams of the visual pathways
|
|
Occipital lobe is part of what unit in Luria's model?
|
Unit 2
|
Describe a theory of occipital lobe function
|
|
Damage to V4 -->
|
Loss of colour cognition (cannot see, imagine or recall colour)
|
Damage to V5-->
|
Erases ability to percieve objects in motion, can only see objects at rest
|
Damage to V3-->?
|
Would have to include larger lesion of V4 to form deficity
|
Damage to lesions in V1 -->
|
Cortical blindness
|
Protanopia
|
-visual acuitiy is normal
-"red" cones may be filled with "green" opsin-confusion between red and green |
What are three deficits in trichromatic coding?
|
-Protoanopia-Deuteranopia-Tritanopia
|
Name a general source of genetic defects in colour?
|
Opsins and retinal (lipid) defects lead to alrterations in the trichromatic coding
