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.
