Activation of rods by light In dark, Na+ ions are continually
pumped out from inner segment Outer segment is very leaky to Na+
ions In dark, rods are less negative (-40
mv) On activation there will be closure of
leaky Na+ channels leading to hyperpolarization (upto -70 mv)

M & L pigment genes on X Chromosome
Color perception depends on the percentage stimulation of all 3 cones

Processing of visual image in retina
Formation of three images
First image: Photoreceptors
Second image: Bipolar cells
Third image: Ganglion cells
![Page 62: Photo Chemistry of Vision](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051208/54731affb4af9f5f1b8b45f6/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Processing of Visual Information in the RetinaIn a sense, the processing of visual information in the retina involves the formation of three images. The first image, formed by the action of light on the photoreceptors, is changed to a second image in the bipolar cells, and this in turn is converted to a third image in the ganglion cells. In the formation of the second image, the signal is altered by the horizontal cells, and in the formation of the third, it is altered by the amacrine cells. There is little change in the impulse pattern in the lateral geniculate bodies, so the third image reaches the occipital cortex.

Visual cortex processing
Most fibers from LGB end in layer 4 Fibers from intralaminar portion end
in blobs present in layer 2 & 3 Simple cells: respond to bars of light,
lines & edges if in particular orientation
Complex cells: fire when lines are moved laterally

This is the so-called "Ice Cube" model of the visual cortex illustrating cortical architecture. This 1mm by 1mm region of cortex contains all orientations, columns for both the left and right eyes, and blobs.

Orientation columns: vertical columns of 1mm diameter
Ocular dominance columns: layer 4 cells alternate with inputs from two eyes

Neurons in many cortical areas are arranged into functional columnar structures spanning from the pial surface to the white matter tracts. A cortical column is defined by a group of neurons arranged vertically that share a similar receptive field. For example, as an electrode oriented perpendicular to the surface of the primary visual cortex is penetrated deeper into the cortex, all neurons encountered will respond to a bar of light angled at 45 degrees from the horizon (Figure 1, left)1. However, neurons recorded from an electrode inserted parallel to the cortical surface will show gradually changing orientation selectivity (Figure 1, right).
