    Study Notes

    Visual Processing

    • The cones in the retina are responsible for processing red, green, and blue colors.

    Retina Structure

    • Ganglion cells in the retina transmit visual information from the retina to the brain.

    Brain Structure

    • The primary visual cortex, located in the occipital lobe, processes visual information.

    Visual Pathways

    • The dorsal stream, also known as the 'where' pathway, is involved in guiding actions towards objects.
    • The ventral stream, also known as the 'what' pathway, is involved in object recognition.

    Note: These notes are concise, focusing on key facts and entities, and are written in an engaging and easy-to-understand format.
