The Nose Malleus Tympanic Membrane Incus Stapes • The middle ear amplifies signal by increasing the pressure on the oval window • Inner ear muscles provide adjustable intensity control (dampen sounds) Basal Thick Stiff High frequency stapes Apical Thin Floppy Low frequency Basilar membrane We Love Fourier!

Amacrine Cells (Graded/action potential) Front of eye Distribution of Rods and Cones Rods Cones High light sensitivity Night vision Low light sensitivity Day vision Achromatic Chromatic Low acuity—not in the fovea High acuity—in the fovea Slow response Fast response General organization of the visual pathway Receptive field • Definition: the area of the retina (or visual field) in which light signals evoke responses • It’s a property of the cell, not a cell or a part of the cell • It depends largely on the synaptic inputs to the cell and to some degree the biophysical property of the cell itself receptive field LGN cells cortical simple cell LGN layers • Parvocellular layers: 3-6 • Magnocellular layers: 1,2 • Contralateral eye: 1,4,6 • Ipsilateral eye: 2,3,5 • But all LGN layers represent contralateral visual field!
