Rods are specialized todetect in dim light, and do not detect color
Types of Photoreceptors
Disks containing photopigment(light absorber)
Cones are specializedfor detecting colorand bright light

The Distribution of Rods and Cones Differs Across the Retina
Rods-Periphery-Dim light-Black & white-Signal amplification-Much pooling(noise reduction)
Cones-Fovea-Bright light-Color-Little pooling(fine discrimination)

Lateral inhibition produces contrast enhancement“...at the expense of fidelity of representation.”
Lateral inhibition produces center-surround RFs, which produce
contrast enhancement

• Sensory responses depend on the recent history of stimulation, due to adaptation effects
• Bipolar cells integrate a neighborhood of photoreceptor responses to exhibit antagonistic center-surround receptive fields
• Retinal ganglion cells integrate bipolar responses and send action potentials into brain
• Center-surround RFs (lateral inhibition) enhance spatial contrasts
• Luminance and color information are processed in parallel by different cells

The striate cortex (V1) contains a retinotopic map

Spatial Receptive FieldsSpatial receptive field = region of visual field to which a cell responds
Cell in V1
Receptive field of this V1 cell is to the left of where the eyes are looking(Green = locations where
light would causecell to be excited
Red = locations wherelight would cause cell to be inhibited)

Conclusions• Receptive fields and tuning curves
characterize the response properties of sensory neurons
• Visual neurons are arranged in retinotopic “maps”
• Different sensory features are processed in parallel in different brain areas
• More complex and specific features-sensitivities are constructed from lower-level features (hierarchy)
