“V1”

Lateral Geniculate Nucleus

The retinal bipolar cells send impulses to the visual cortex via the lateral geniculate nucleus.

The receptive field of a neuron describes the part of the visual field from which that neuron receives stimuli.

“Resolution” refers to some measure of the ability to separate (resolve) objects

One measure of resolution is resolvable line pairs per millimeter

(Often given for stereomicroscopes)

Spatial frequency is a number per mm,just as temporal frequency is a number per second.
