what is actually happening when we are perceiving something?
converting some type of energy into a neural signal
two pathways for motor-sensory loop
sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent)
other name for sensory pathway
afferent
other name for motor pathway
efferent
sensory (afferent) pathway
a for at the brain
motor (efferent) pathway
e for exiting the brain
,what is the core responsibility of sensory receptors?
perform transduction
transduction process
stimulus arrives and causes a physical or chemical change in the cell,
opens/closes ion channels in the cell, flow of ions generates receptor
potential, receptor potential creates action potential
how is the strength/intensity felt even when action potiential is all-or-none?
the frequency of action potential means higher intensity
types of perception (that are important for this class at least)
phototransduction, proprioception, vestibular/equilobrioception,
somatosensation, audition
where does receptor potential go?
stays local to the receptor
where does action potential go?
propogates down nerve
intensity coding
frequency of action potential
, phototransduction
light energy being converted into what we can see
two types of cells that contribute to phototransduction
rods and cones
are rods or cones better at peripheral vision?
rods
are rods or cones better for high visual acuity?
cones
in the example of playing post in a basketball game, how are you using
your rods and cones?
rods can see the person I'm guarding/other people around be in the
peripheral, the cones focus on the ball
in the dark, what is the state of photoreceptors?
depolarized
are rods or cones better in low light?
rods
