Document Summary

5% of ganglion cells and m ganglion cells the vast majority is p ganglion cells and the are smalle. M and p cells that give different information to the brain. When you shine red light the cell doesnt do much but blue then the cell will fire lots of ap this particular cell is tuned to a particular collour. Lgn is made of 6 layers which are shown in the blue stain the bottom layer is darker because they have cells which are bigger and the upper part is the p cell you have 6 layers. Where does it mix? after the input comes into the primary visual cortex. Mt recieves information form the m pathway she had a lesion in mt which is the middle temporal lobe. Why do we have neurons that in tune with faces? because you have compicated visual area that is good for recognising faces informaiaton.
