100
The difference in time of a sound reaching one ear vs the other.
What is the Interaural time difference?
100
3 different kinds of cones with 3 different color preferences work together to give us color.
What is Trichromatic Theory?
100
Connects the cell body to the axon terminals. Transduction happens here.
What is the Axon?
100
Responsiable for executive, and assigns tasks.
What is the frontal lobe?
100
Merkel, Messimer, Ruffini, pacinian
What is The types of mechanoreceptors?
200
Neurons that respond to different frequencies are organized anatomically in order of frequency.
What is Tonotopic Map?
200
We identify key shapes within objects, called geons. A finite set or geons can be used to contract a very large number of objects.
What is recognition by components theory
200
Thin material wrapped around some neurons that speed up transduction.
What is Myelin?
200
Primary area for hearing, contains the auditory cortex.
What is the temporal lobe?
200
Mechanoreceptor what responds to slow pushing motion, pressing down on a desk.
What is Merkel Receptor?
300
imaginary circle in your vision, whos images all lie on corresponding retinal points.
What is the horopter?
300
We can perceive motion that is taking place, copy motion signals.
What is Corollarly Discharge Theory?
300
The gate keeper of the neuron, controls whether or not a signal gets passed on or not.
What is the axon hillock?
300
Relay station of the brain, the file sorter.
What is the thalamus?
300
Mechanoreceptor that responds to stretching out of the skin.
What is Ruffini Receptor?
400
Only 3 colored are needed to match any combonation of reference lights.
What is Color Matching?
400
All odorents have different chemical structures, that fit with different receptor shapes, the pattern across the receptors creates the perception.
What is Shape Pattern theory?
400
Takes in/ passes on signals into synapses and the onto different neurons.
What is Dendrites?
400
Responsible for memory.
What is the hippocampus.
400
Mechanoreceptor that responds to fast vibration, like holding a tooth brush.
What is Pacinian Receptor?
500
Multiple rods and cones send input to one bipolar cell, then to one retinal ganglion cell. With convergence you lose acuity.
What is Convergence and its relation to acuity?
500
Odorants hitting specific receptors, they shift and fall into place. Certain receptors cause certain perceptions.
What is Vibration Theory?
500
Junction between neurons that permits transfer of neurotransmitters.
What is a synapse?
500
Responsible for reward and learning.
What is the basil ganglia?
500
mechanoreceptor that responds to Slow vibration, dropping a water bottle.
What is Meissner Receptors?
