Why does the light has to cross many layers before reaching the photo receptors?
There is no yellow cone, how can this colour still be distinguished?
There are two types of axons that leave the eye, which two?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the target of the retinal projections?
2. Superior colliculus and pretectum = 10%
3. Suprachiastmatic nucleus (some)
What is the function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus?
What is the function of the pretectum?
What is special about the lateral geniculate body (thalamus)?
Layered structure (6) --> each receives input from a specific type of ganglion (3 types)
Where is the lateral geniculate nucleus connected to?
--> way more neurons from LGN to V1 than from eye to LGN, because the amount of information increases
How many routes to V1 from LGN exist?
--> damaged separately --> quadrant anopsia
What is quadrant anopsia?
Meyer's loop (via temporal lobe) = missing left/right upper quarter (lower part of retina)
Barum's loop (via parietal lobe) = missing left/right lower quarter
(upper part retina)
Does the information from the LGN to the cortex still arrives separately for each eye?
What is the effect of ventral stream lesion on the right side?
(V1 -> temporal lobe)
But Galvanic skin response remains present, the limbic system still recognizes the face (but consciousness is not present)
Can also be the other way around -> Capgras delusion
--> Unilateral right-sided lesion
What happens when there is damage to the left side ventral stream?
V1 -> parietal lobe
--> unilateral left sided lesion
What happens when there is damage to the dorsal stream?
What are saccadic eye movements?
Only central (macular) vision is sharp and in color, but it has an angle of vision of only a few degrees of arc.
Peripheral vision is unsharp and in black and white, but wide angled.
What is the effect on the visual field of an infartion of the basilar artery?
What is the structure of the rods and cones
outer segments are renewed continuously
Which receptor is present in the rods and which in the cones?
Cones = iodopsin
G-protein coupled receptors
What happens when iodopsin absorbs light?
Why is there a constant 'depolarization' in the eyes?
What happens in the light and dark with the sensitivity of vision?
Light: break down into retinal and opsin happens due to light which reduces sensitivity
Dark: build up of opsin which increases sensitivity
Tell something about the synthesize speed of cones/rods
Rods = resynthesize slow but sensitivity is high
