15. Cortical Processing of visual information is primarily performed in the Primary Visual Cortex within the Occipital Lobe, but there are also Visual Association Areas within the Temporal, Parietal, and Frontal Lobes is this true? 19. The Lateral Genticulate Nuclei of the Thalamus receive visual sensory information from the optic nerve, is this true?

What are major sensory deficits resulting from damage along this primary sensory pathway? EXplain and give examples in your own words.

Draw and/or describe how the edges of objects are encoded in the primary visual cortex.

Why does the cerebral cortex have both visual cortex and a visual association center? What would be the result if the visual cortex was damaged but not the association center? what would be the result if the visual association center was damaged but not the visual cortex?

How can I distinguish well developed visual cortex and not developed visual cortex? Do we see more dendrites or zinc-containing boutons in well developed visual cortex?

The receptive field size increases at successive progressing stages in the visual pathway. What evidence is there for this? Does this make sense?

Does the somatosensory cortex have a columnar organization similar to the visual cortex? a. Yes, alternating columns contain neurons responding to pleasant and aversive stimuli b. No, columnar organization doesn’t make sense in the somatosensory system because the receptor types are too diverse to dedicate a full column to each sensory attribute. c. No, the body is already represented several times in the somatosensory cortex, with different modalities assigned to different brain regions d. Yes, alternating columns contain neurons responding...
