00:00 this is Lecture 20 of neuroscience and is visual system three, where we're

00:08 be progressing into our understanding of how primary sketch of the outside world in

00:14 visual information and the outside world is all the way up to the primary

00:20 cortex in the retina. As we , we have a specific anatomy and

00:26 circuit off photo receptors, bipolar and cells that are also modulated by horizontal

00:33 the amateur in cells, the photo a responsible for photo transaction. So

00:39 the light hits the road option activation of G protein complex and false

00:47 is molecule and conversion of psychic GNP GNP causes the closure of sodium channels

00:53 the light, the inside or the and potential off the cell will actually

01:01 hyper polarized because off the regulation off flocks and the conductors of positive charge

01:08 the sodium through different sodium channels. . But again, once this photo

01:21 happens, this is happening at the off converting the slide into and electrochemical

01:30 , which then results in the synaptic and changes in the synaptic signaling between

01:37 photo receptors in the Bible ourselves, we know that these air grated potentials

01:42 he's a receptor ourselves. And then a number off these receptor cells groups

01:49 these receptor cells would be activated, of these receptor cells form the receptive

01:55 properties that could be recorded as an potential. So the output of the

02:00 from the ganglion cells. So you basically the collections of these photoreceptors in

02:09 retina that form receptive fields that are , um, center surround, where

02:18 center can be either most sensitive to or least sensitive to light. Or

02:25 surround can be most sensitive to producing the most output from the

02:31 And in some cases the surround could be the opposite. So it's

02:37 surround on area in the center, in the surround or off area,

02:42 the center and on in the The point being here that at the

02:48 of the retina processing that comes out the ganglion cells, it goes information

02:53 comes the amplitude off this luminescence through frequency off the action potentials and that

03:03 retina it really perceives the outside world thes rings concentric on on off off

03:12 center surround patterns off luminescence at the of the retina. We also talked

03:20 the fact that as a reminder, posson attic activity off the cell does

03:26 depend that on the neurotransmitter that is present Africa Lee but depends on the

03:33 synaptic receptors. So in this what you're looking at is you're looking

03:39 the center and in the center you a photo receptor and there's a light

03:44 of this photo receptor. Remember what in the presence of life? The

03:49 , hyper polarized it was sells high arising the presence of light.

03:56 In the darkness, those cells would releasing glutamate, and these voter receptor

04:03 are connected to two types of bipolar . On the left you have a

04:08 cell that expresses Medical Tropic Leader Major . So glutamate binding to medical Tropic

04:14 made etcetera will be inhibitory to the , right, glued in eight.

04:20 this is signed inverting synapse glued in on the right here, binding thio

04:25 cell that has ample kinda receptor glutamate deep polarization here. Sign concerning it

04:32 be calling, causing deep polarization Right, But what is happening in

04:38 presence of life and the presence of . You actually have hyper a

04:44 and if you have hyper polarization, have a sign concerning synapse. This

04:50 center bipolar cell will be hyper It's not being activated by the photo

04:58 that's sitting in the in the center . It's off bipolar or something,

05:04 it is. It's hyper polarized in presence off light. This is hyper

05:09 . This is hyper polarized. This getting real cell is also hyper polarized

05:16 in the presence of light. If synapse here that has medical tropically domain

05:22 this hyper polarized, this photo receptors polarized, it's sign inverting. That

05:28 that this medical tropic by Paulo cell instead be d polarized. If this

05:36 receptor was dipaula rised medical Tropic, have made receptors would be hi pra

05:44 Simon verdict. But in the presence life, we know that the photo

05:49 sir Hi propel arise So there is enough intimate released its sign and burning

05:55 . This is hyper a polarized. one is deep polarized. So this

05:59 an on center bipolar self. This a bipolar cell that gets deep

06:04 One. The light is shot in center, and this bipolar self is

06:10 . It is actually gets hyper One of the life is shown on

06:14 center of this field, which will multiple photo receptors. At the same

06:20 , you have both of the synapses bipolar cells on on some turn off

06:26 cells that only contain apple kind of M D interceptors. So if the

06:33 on the left releases glutamate is polarized, eccentric, angry and sell

06:38 be D polarized. So in the , this is signed conserving photoreceptors,

06:44 hyper polarized in the light, the after Saleh's hyper polarized, which is

06:52 and murdering. Let's go to deep on on Central Cell, which has

06:58 concerning synapse with the ganglion cell and going to cause deep polarization and the

07:02 center gangrene itself in the light. off center bipolar south has a conserving

07:12 , so in the light, the hyper polarized. Therefore, the off

07:18 bipolar south with some conservatives announced, be hyper polarized. Therefore, the

07:23 center ganglion south through the sign conserving , will also be high proportion So

07:31 is what you need to know That have this circuit here and there might

07:36 some questions and there might be some questions related thio the circuit.

07:43 there is another layer of complexity and information processing through the retinal circuit that

07:49 added by the horizontal and even more by the Amoco cells. But if

07:56 review the horizontal selectivity, we already that horizontal cells are inhibitory cell,

08:02 they release Gabba. Then if these receptors air deep polarized, then release

08:10 glutamate from the photo receptors on the south which are inhibitory in the negative

08:16 loop will cause the horizontal south to inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. And in him

08:25 these deep polarized photoreceptors. Right? this is again the plus here indicates

08:31 conserving synapse. Deep polarization here will polarized horizontal cells, and the negative

08:39 is a sign inverting synopsis. So these horizontal Celso de polarized released Gabon

08:44 will actually hyper polarized or inhibit the receptor. Okay, So make sure

08:53 understand, especially this diagram on the and you understand that as you can

08:59 , you have a representation off multiple that will be making the center surround

09:06 field and its property, its activation the inactivation or ah, deep polarization

09:14 hyper polarization and subsequently, activation off on or off center Gangly insults Thio

09:22 action potentials, and this is the output. The local album go out

09:27 the retina into the lateral Jim Nicholas . So let's be checked for a

09:35 here. So as we discussed, is a way that we can classify

09:43 ganglion cells based on the receptive field on and off center surround. But

09:49 can also analyze them and sub classified based on their anatomical and functional

09:58 So we have the Magno M and parvo P type cells, and we

10:05 non MP type pathway themselves that are fall into even MMP description. But

10:12 ourselves are small, receptive fields they're conducting in their less sensitive to low

10:18 , where magno cells or larger have , receptive fields there faster conducting cells

10:26 they're more sensitive to low contrast of . And so this information from these

10:33 ways in the retina is now going get communicated all the way into the

10:38 systems and the processed higher up. will talk about the development of Red

10:46 Nicholas Pathway, and we will review slide will come back to the slide

10:51 a little bit. Just quick. that 80 to 90% off all of

10:56 retinal are produced. L g m goes detective satirical Ridiculous, which is

11:02 for psychotic eye movement. And 123% to super asthmatic nucleus, which is

11:09 circadian rhythm in the master body clock . Nuclear's These air the fields of

11:20 that we've discussed, where you have left visual Hemi field and right visual

11:27 field that the middle part here, is quite large, overlapping part,

11:33 be seen by two eyes and then left on the periphery can only be

11:38 by the nasal retinal fibers on the eye. And right Periphery can also

11:47 be seen by the right eye nasal pointing into that direction. Looking into

11:54 peripheral vision, the nasal fibers, nasal fibers that are looking into the

12:02 , nasal fibers air going to cross to the optic eye as,

12:07 and in the optical nerve, the optic nerve is now going to contain

12:12 lateral left nasal fibers and hips It's the lateral red here shown temporal

12:22 fibers. The optic tracks on both will project into the lateral Jinich Ulich

12:28 and carry that information through the optic thes air. The projections that are

12:35 that are accents coming out of the gene equipped nucleus and the bundles off

12:40 really sell axons forming the optic radiations the primary visual cortex. And this

12:51 where the primary sensory information processing in formation of the primal sketch of the

12:58 world is formed. So if we , then Thio try to address loss

13:04 function and damage to different parts off pathway along the optic nerve. If

13:12 were the damage left off the if you were, for example,

13:16 go, um, either blind in eye, um, God forbid.

13:23 if there is a damage to love on one. I,

13:28 you actually just lose the left peripheral on that same side. So if

13:36 have a cut nerve left optic you have a loss of left peripheral

13:44 . No, that's very different. for some reason and again, this

13:48 something that can happen during accidents, is something in the transaction off lack

13:56 track and happen during traumatic brain It could happen. Do Thio.

14:05 being inserted penetrated traumatic brain injuries due surgeries that our neurosurgery is But they

14:15 up damaging other parts of the brain or they damaging. So by trying

14:22 rescue other parts of the brain oncological conditions and cancer growth where you

14:30 have an invasion and that part of brain and damage Thio optic tract.

14:35 if you damage and optic tract and side. So you damaged optic Norman

14:42 side, You just lost a peripheral on the left. Yeah, Hemi

14:49 visual Hemi field. But if you a damage to the left optic tract

14:56 with the left optic tract is looking , remember, first of all,

15:03 the left side is the temporal Temporal retina is looking thio the right

15:15 here, okay. And when you the off the track now, you're

15:21 cutting through the fibers that are crossing these of the nasal fibers from the

15:30 eye that we're looking at the Yeah, the nasal fibers. They're

15:36 at the Pereira from the right And you have the ipsa lateral

15:42 sort of looking at the center And the reason why you don't lose

15:48 entire center is because this portion here purple the black indicates the loss of

15:57 . The purple means you still have field of view. The reason why

16:00 don't lose the entire centers because you overlap. And you have the overlap

16:07 these, uh, temporal fibers in right side, looking at the left

16:16 of view. So what happens? to the left off the track that

16:22 you off the right field of The center and the periphery. Some

16:29 you have ah damaged Thio Optic Kaya , um Now, if you damage

16:37 , the car has and what you is you lose the peripheral vision,

16:43 you preserve all of the central vision In this case, it's referred to

16:49 tunnel vision tunnel vision, meaning that are almost like in a tunnel.

16:55 you don't have the peripheral vision. So super charismatic nucleus and the chi

17:05 , um and also the pituitary gland all located, um, in that

17:17 . And if you heard of the giants, those are people that have

17:24 growth hormone levels partly regulated by pituitary . The pituitary gland group get

17:34 And it's sitting very close to the eye as, um, and the

17:39 could start damaging off the chi um, and causing this hello like

17:45 . And so and, uh, that have this, uh, due

17:53 it, Terry Giant like features like the Giant. A lot of times

18:03 large pituitary gland onda pressure on the as, um, killer result and

18:12 television Likewise, if you had a that would impinge ing on the optic

18:19 as, um, it would be tunnel like vision. So it's important

18:26 you understand these diagrams. These often up that will come up either.

18:31 quiz are the task for you to able to identify where damage happens along

18:39 visual pathway before the lot O j nucleus and what loss of function you

18:45 experience and the left or right or fields of view information when it gets

18:52 the lateral Jean Nicolet nucleus from both . It is still segmented into the

18:59 and right. These layers are missile cross sectional transfers, coronal sections okay

19:14 showing six layers in missile stain. six layers that have dense populations of

19:24 South as the related south, interspersed some of the inter Nunes and then

19:30 sparsely populated, uh, cells in these dense layers of cells. So

19:40 have layer one and two. There's different diagrams, so don't worry,

19:46 this is layer 123456 So Layers one two a. Magno Players Information from

19:57 large magno cells is coming into layers and two. Last 3456 or parvo

20:07 layers. That's information from the small , with small, receptive fields going

20:12 3456 ventral to each one of these . Okay, and not dorsal,

20:20 the ventral to each one of these . These sparse populations of cells are

20:25 to as non and P types of and pathways. It's also referred to

20:31 Kanye Cellular or non MP type or because intermediary in between the layers,

20:42 what you have with these six First of all, is that each

20:46 of these layers is still hman But now you have processing in parallel

20:56 you have processing through these different layers at the same time retinal ganglion

21:06 We'll also have these concentric on and receptive field properties. So that information

21:13 that consenting information that gets process of level of the retina retinal ganglion cells

21:19 still have those similar sell receptive field are This is very interesting. 80%

21:31 projections into L G m R of origin. This is this is not

21:39 be confused with this diagram. here, we're talking about retinal

21:46 How much of this retinal output goes L G M 80 to 90%?

21:53 . But guess what? Elgin receives lot mawr from the cortex and the

21:58 from the retina. So 90% off synopsis and projections have come into the

22:05 G on are coming from the cortex different parts of the cortex. And

22:10 why we have this phrase. What see with L. G N is

22:15 by how we feel. So the , the circuit of information that goes

22:25 the retina into the thalamus and then the cortex comes back from the cortex

22:32 the thalamus and most of the innovations the thalamus and Elgin off cortical

22:39 Most of the output from the retina to 90% goes to the L.

22:43 M, but it's only a small off what L. G. M

22:46 processing. So it is really not forming what we call Philomel. Cortical

22:54 , Philomel, critical cortical thalamic from two cortex and from cortex back to

22:59 knows there's no communication from Paloma's back the retina and, as we

23:05 thalamus and these layers and the function column asses not passive but rather adjustment

23:14 the processing. Andi uh, serving function off amplification, starting a function

23:25 , dampening where it's needed. There a certain degree of processing of that

23:30 information, despite the fact that the field properties or primitive how much of

23:38 , uh, information and the concentric and off field properties processing from the

23:44 . G. M. Goes to cortex is still very much determined by

23:48 Elgin and then could be again cross and cross modulated by cortex, speaking

23:59 to the algae. Um, so can see that on the right temporal

24:08 . You have these blue fibers and nasal fibers. They're going to be

24:12 ones that cross over. So the bilateral fibers has shown in blue and

24:18 fibers that crossover shown in red these the nasal fireworks of crossover. What

24:24 shown is that, Mrs Contra, rad FC FC Contra FC contra.

24:33 means that layer one on the side Contra lateral projections. Magnus Cellular later

24:40 receive the cell lateral projections. Layer from Magno Really through you receives Parma

24:48 for parvo Cultural lateral 55 It's the Parma six, our little cultural

24:58 It's another. We're presenting this So from the I, you have

25:07 layers and from the high the retinal gets segregated gets channeled into these six

25:16 players. Non MP layer is eventual , each principal layer, and we

25:23 to the USA's Kanye Cellular projections on cellular cells and fibers. Cultural lateral

25:32 right here. The magno cells projected layers contra laterally to one, and

25:41 laterally to to far vel four layers contract Gypsy contract. See, I

25:49 see. I see contrary FC FC fc contrary. These are the projections

25:59 go into the l g m. still carrying information from just one.

26:04 Okay, Within each layer, it's information is coming from one I segregated

26:10 these fibers in neocortex from the l n. This information travels to the

26:18 visual cortical area 17 also referred to V one for primary visual cortex.

26:26 . The one This is the lateral lateral view off area 17 and this

26:36 mid sagittal view off the primary 17. Primary visual cortex in the

26:44 of that area. 17, you , have a cal serene fisher that

26:50 , too. Um, gee, arrived with the pretty prominent Fisher,

26:57 so the primary visual cortex will be in two sides of this call

27:02 Fisher. The comparison here to the , as human brain to the macaque

27:09 brains on the non human primates. you can see, Area 17 shown

27:15 green occupies a much larger area, relatively to the size of the whole

27:24 . Once again telling you that the sophisticated the species are. The smaller

27:34 , overall comparatively to the whole size the brain, are dedicated to the

27:39 sensor information processing, and Maura and of the brain is being dedicated Thio

27:48 Tertiary Co. Ordinary and association areas so specifically that will be joining the

27:56 multiple sensor inputs. The Knapp that see in the outside world can be

28:08 point by point and dot by dot so, if you are looking at

28:13 person here from left to right from to the last 234569 all the way

28:23 the right, this point by point , this 0.0.0.1 which is encoded in

28:29 nasal retina, one which damn crosses the fibers he and is encoded right

28:38 as number one. It has its specific point. There's a point in

28:45 retina. There's a point in the you Nichola, and there's a point

28:51 the primary visual cortex layer for which often referred to as a stride

28:58 that represents exactly that same point individual in the field of view that you're

29:05 at. Okay, this is a no topic map. If you were

29:13 lay out the threatened a flat, you said, Ah ha ! This

29:17 of the map of the retina is here, This one straight ahead.

29:22 one over there. I'm gonna nap out. You have this rats in

29:26 nap. If you were now, L g M. You would find

29:31 same point by point retina topic map in the lateral genetically Look nuclear's,

29:38 you will find the same point by now represented in the New York cortex

29:44 the primary visual cortex. So this one since five, 56 This is

29:52 . Okay, you can see that have this retina topic map, and

29:55 have this Knapp individual system that's point point visual map. In the auditory

30:03 , you actually have a frequency So, uh, on and in

30:11 somatic sensory system, you have the of the body, that census,

30:15 of the sensations along the entire extent your body. So as we

30:25 we have a layer and call them in the neocortex and deep here,

30:37 air deep layers and these air superficial . So layer one this is the

30:41 superficial would be the closest to the would be the closest to the

30:45 and you can see it mostly has lot of fibers running through it.

30:51 some of the 100 IQ endings here are projecting from the deep Polaris to

30:57 most superficial. There's one, 23 . They're gonna be housing, mostly

31:04 to re parameter all cells. LHarris ABC. There's some divided into sort

31:12 these three major bands along. the reason for it is layer

31:18 where all of the inputs air coming . But those inputs air still segregating

31:23 in the layer into a B see sees further segregated into alfa and beta

31:32 or architecturally. And so you're looking the missile stayed here, then you

31:36 layer five and you can see that see, and for a B will

31:42 the Interneuron. Since some Perama Nall and layer five and six are again

31:48 by these large Farrah minal cells that will find there, of course,

31:53 you recall, the neocortex will that is, and will contain a

31:59 of the inhibitory cell. So this just a very simplified, excited Torrey

32:04 and the main input that's coming in the column us into little.

32:10 in a way, this anatomical segregation layers is a division of labor,

32:17 which layer processes what information you can of. Left. Four is receiving

32:22 information layer two and three, spreading information through through this from the column

32:28 the Jason Collins Layer five and six information back into the followers and so

32:36 . So the reason why we refer this primary visual cortex is a stride

32:43 is originally some of the early experiments tracing the neuro anatomy off. This

32:51 system entailed injections off in material. this case of radio active lib labeled

33:00 material into one I and if you Thio, inject it into one I

33:06 will have projections from that one. go into three layers of the

33:12 G m. Remember, these three are connected to one eye on one

33:17 of the brain, and the other layers are connected to that I and

33:21 from those three layers. Those projections one, I would go into the

33:27 , and if you were to take peel that superficial 123 layers of the

33:34 off and reveal this radioactive label You would see these lines that we

33:43 to stri a okay. And what lines essentially indicates even this cartoon or

33:51 this microscope with microscopic photograph here. these lines indicate is that this particular

33:59 is associated with one eye only and we refer to them as ocular dominance

34:08 . That means that this column this area here that is shown in

34:14 is dominated by one eye, and adjacent area is dominated by another.

34:21 So you have this inter dispersion uh, cortex that gets input from

34:30 eye the other I left, I , I left. I write I

34:35 the strike like structure. That's why lot of times you will hear reference

34:41 the visual cortex as tried cortex. , let's look at this experiment described

34:49 where we have six layers off algae cells, relay cells from the

34:57 G. M. Projecting into layer off the New York cortex. And

35:04 this illustrates is the following first of , it shows that L g m

35:15 receives inputs from both eyes. So have, uh, inputs from contra

35:23 and if so lateral eyes, but those layers are segregated. So those

35:29 are hman ocular. Each layer processes from one i mhm. They're segregated

35:38 separate layers and then in uh, species, including most primates, the

35:54 from the two eyes remain segregated into we already described as ocular dominance

36:01 especially a layer four. This is layer where the synoptic inputs from the

36:09 G on the accents come in to cortex that come from the L G

36:14 through the off the radiations and the and therefore of the neocortex. So

36:24 this case, what you have is doing an electro physiological experiment. What

36:31 have actually in B here is you layers of cortex. 123456 and you

36:43 penetrating an electrode. Right and electricity in position. A. Then you

36:51 the electrode is in position. B position D you go deeper e f

36:59 , and this is your final position the Electra and in each position and

37:05 you can own thio record a response this Elektra. So would you have

37:17 you have stimulation in this case, electrode. Okay, you have a

37:26 off the visual signal. And when are in position A, you are

37:37 on ley contra lateral signal. Here position A in position B, which

37:47 noticed specially positioned B is located between we call the ocular dominance columns between

37:57 overlapping dark and white lines. this is positioned be in position

38:04 You are now recording and collecting response both eyes equally in position.

38:12 your electorate would be located immediately above other ocular dominance column causing and purely

38:20 a lateral response in position D again, you are in between the

38:31 dominance column. So you will pick information from both of bilateral and contra

38:38 l g n or collateral on contra eyes. And the more you are

38:47 the center off, this ocular dominance or you are in the center of

38:51 black line them or you're getting a from just a single. So them

38:55 to the edge about this black line calling you go. The Mawr

39:02 coming from both eyes and also note even layer for this information is completely

39:13 segregated. Was telling you that this ular information from each layer of the

39:19 G m in the neocortex and strike when the inputs come in tow layer

39:26 here those inputs are still hman There's still ocular dominant in this tried

39:37 and left war and it becomes binocular into these more superficial layers Onley in

39:48 areas that are now kind of a over areas in these more superficial areas

39:55 across over areas of the junction between dominance inputs from left all right,

40:03 for it's illogical contra lateral. so again the inputs remain segregated analogy

40:14 their Manaka lor they still information Forsman ocular and Onley it hilarious to

40:21 . This information starts becoming binocular coin together eso you can see that you

40:29 very specific spatial anatomy and furthermore, have very specific circuitry and connectivity off

40:38 layers again, you can see that of the inputs from the left eye

40:44 the right I will be coming into okay And these inputs Year player four

40:52 ocular dominance columns are hman ocular and at these zones. In between the

41:01 layer information and layer three and two co joined into binocular him. So

41:10 information off magnum Powerball, you see will be coming into four seed beta

41:19 will be coming mostly into four C Interestingly intermediary fiber. So the Konya

41:28 fiber. So we describe our bypassing for this is an exception. So

41:34 cells located Ventura Lee to each layer are very sparsely dispersed eventually to each

41:44 the LG. Unless those cells bypassed of the south layer foreign go straight

41:50 layer to three Intermediary Viber zehr thought carry color information. It is a

42:04 to say that color information is more when it is binocular and until you

42:10 a binocular fuel the view you don't this color information incorporated. And why

42:16 you have a binocular field of view two or three? Because you

42:19 because you're joining the information of the inputs not only along the MP pathway

42:26 along the left eye and ride by and contrary inputs. So from

42:32 G m from follow most to cortex a Stalin, a cortical projections going

42:37 layer four MP intermedia into layer to in late 23 These projections will be

42:45 laterally broadly across the columns across ocular columns and across different parts of the

42:54 cortex. And they will exit out the stride cortex to other extra stride

43:01 areas such as the two visual secondary visual cortex, the three tertiary

43:10 co ordinary and so on. We have to know all of these details

43:15 the fact that it will radiate out the primary area 17 18, 19

43:21 the Maura advanced processing areas along the cortex and then into the media temporal

43:32 , pathway or into the parietal pathway later to three will communicate that information

43:43 distances to other extra stride area. once information comes into four, you

43:51 intra cortical in that information from four 2 to 3. If the bypass

43:56 four, goes directly to 23 for those of you that are into

44:01 , and for those of you that into engineering, and for those of

44:04 that into Sergeant and during this is what this is, this is a

44:09 sophisticated, very fast processing. You have interconnected circuit, both electrical

44:21 acted units. And this is the in which the circuit is active and

44:29 information. So I'm a cortical. , from 42 to 3 to three

44:35 it widely. But 23 also communicates back to 56 and 56 sends that

44:45 back for our purposes of interest. the visual areas in just the lateral

44:52 Nicollet nucleus into the superior. Us. Okay, these are all

45:00 processing areas. L g m remember said L g m receives most of

45:06 input from the cortex. So now have here is representation off Salamah Cortical

45:15 cortical cortical, which we call intra loop. You have this intra cortical

45:20 because information from 56 is not only critically to other areas, but it

45:26 also informing layer four. It's modulating incoming inputs again into therefore so you

45:36 Salama cortical input. You have intra loop that forms 423564235642356 That's intra cortical

45:48 loop, then off course into You have long range connectivity through lateral

45:56 here. And finally you have the costs Allama Nick, a cortical support

46:04 communication and, in this case, Philomel. Going back to the L

46:08 M. The llama cortical intra cortical into cortical long range communications and back

46:17 cortical Salam IQ and these cortical thalamic Salama cortical on cortical Islamic roots.

46:25 very, very powerful. They can . They can draw a lot of

46:31 very quickly. They can also, get hijacked by abnormal levels of activity

46:39 a lot of Philomel cortical court across signal and could be involved in abnormal

46:44 generations, such as during epileptic So this is really important that you

46:54 this is really a canonical circuit of the excited or information is flowing and

47:00 processed from the colonists into cortex, loop within the cortex, spreading it

47:07 the cortex and then back, sending back into the Salama Karius again.

47:12 Salama. That's an interesting thing to is, um, not anatomical feature

47:22 be revealed using cytochrome oxidase, a and sidewalk, chrome oxidizes an enzyme

47:31 involved in energy production and like you these columns, the ocular dominance

47:41 And therefore, if you want to in Larry's 23 here and Larrys 45

47:51 you have what we call these barrel structures. And this is this barrel

47:56 stains. They're not really structures. is where the stain is a

48:00 if you may see it on your . But you see these darker patches

48:06 , and this is cytochrome oxidase stain is done in the primary visual

48:11 and you can very clearly see it learns to three in particular. And

48:17 you recall, we said that the empty the Kanye Cellular or intermediary pathway

48:24 layer foreign go directly into 23 and and behold, it seems that these

48:31 , the blobs air coming, just it seems that these blobs that always

48:39 would be really good. Thio have , um, science fiction movie called

48:45 blobs Air coming. But these blobs like blob like structures. Quite a

48:56 , I guess, In the uh, the Central Lama L g

49:00 cells received the input primarily from non . It is little known about the

49:08 it is. It is thought that obviously are consuming more energy. Thio

49:15 air songs that somehow demand mawr energy increased level of metabolism and because they

49:25 associate ID with these five words, are thought and are known to be

49:33 in color processing. So is if color processing where you have blobs and

49:40 to three are in these deeper 56 That's not where they inputs come

49:45 . That's where the input see the layer for than a communicated from there

49:50 three back 2 to 6. You these blobs and so obviously the blobs

49:58 cytochrome oxidase days function is associated with color information processing in the primary visual

50:12 . So in the retina we saw fact that the outside world waas processed

50:26 this sort of arrangement which I'm drawing , give me a little bit of

50:33 that maybe it looks something like these ah luminescence processing areas with center

50:45 . And that's something that we said outside the retina sees the outside world

50:53 these concentric on and off women essence . Okay, so these air the

51:00 field properties in Rattana and L g . Okay, so the receptive field

51:19 off the rat. You know, l G M cells. They all

51:25 this concentric all and off center surround field properties. Now, what we're

51:35 into in this slide is we're looking what are the receptive field properties of

51:42 South and the primary visual cortex? the experiment here is that you plant

51:49 micro electrodes on Australian cortex and the visual cortex where you can pick up

51:55 potentials. And so you have your focused in this case, it's mostly

52:00 studies. You have your subject focus the screen shown here and on that

52:06 , you have a light stimulus. so you're moving the slide stimulus around

52:12 screen. And if you are bam, you get a response in

52:16 Electra, that response is action potentials on the right. These little sticks

52:23 potentials. Okay, then you're in . You're in luck because you actually

52:28 up a cell experimentally have a complex set up that is looking at a

52:35 space in a particular dot in a area here, And this area in

52:42 blue is defined as the border of receptive field. So this cell is

52:49 at a receptive field that is being through retina and L g N and

52:54 cell is processing information from this light box. And so Okay, so

53:01 pass the bar of lights. First all, you pass the bar of

53:05 in this orientation, that is, say completely vertical and you get three

53:12 potentials. And then what you do you rotate the bar of lights just

53:19 horizontal position, and all of a you get five or six times more

53:25 action potentials. What you're doing is identified this, Aziz, you feel

53:32 view this box and now you are this bar of light and you're changing

53:39 orientation or the direction of this bar light and what you're noticing that despite

53:45 fact that this cell from which you're is looking at this blue box when

53:51 certain object visual stimulus and the form the bar of light passes that south

53:59 react much. But if you change orientation of that signal all of a

54:05 to sell reacts it very hugely. if you rotated even Mawr and Caesar's

54:12 reacted too strongly. So the cells the primary visual cortex are looking at

54:18 field of view and their orientation The cells are selecting for visual stimulus

54:26 are in specific orientation. Now we're about, Remember, we're talking about

54:30 of south located a primary visual cortex will be looking at little bars of

54:36 different orientations, many south, maybe at the same field of view and

54:42 to an orientation of a different Okay, so this is called orientation

54:50 . This is another example where you , uh, study orientation selectivity.

54:58 actually don't like the subsequent slide, I think this explains what we need

55:03 understand. Really well, So now not just about these luminescence patterns

55:13 but it's also about selectivity are being stimulus of orientation, of that visual

55:22 . What else are they selected? now you are looking again at the

55:28 stimulus Your recording from the cortex, looking at the same box and you

55:34 what happens is if I pass this from the left to right versus right

55:39 left the warm Behold the electrode and sell that you're recording from is looking

55:49 this box. And when you present bar of light in the left the

55:55 direction, it produces a train of potentials. Then you say,

56:01 let me go back, change the of movement. I'm gonna go from

56:04 to left and guess what happens. a zit enters the edge of the

56:10 field for that sell you recording problem probably produces action potential. Awesome.

56:15 let's stay silent. And that old that the receptive field properties and the

56:23 visual cortex of these cells is that are orientation selective. They prefer bars

56:30 light in a specific orientation. In to that, they prefer bars of

56:36 traveling in a specific direction. Now have to combine the two. The

56:44 would be a specific orientation of specific , orientation and direction. So today

56:52 Now we have in the algae in the patch of the retina. We

57:00 these on and off center surround herself fields off retina and algae and neurons

57:08 remember, both writing and l g have centers around on and off for

57:12 to feel properties and all of these can imagine three on center sells the

57:20 of light with the activating. These center cells converge onto a single cortical

57:28 from LG in south, they can onto single cortical Sell those air referred

57:34 simple cells. And now what you is you have essentially formation off a

57:45 of light, right You have on cells that are located close to each

57:56 and are overlapping in this fashion in l, G. M and the

58:03 . If you fused information from these cells, would you would have because

58:13 will have a bar of light. this is precisely what you get in

58:19 primary visual cortex to get a bar lights. And you have the convergence

58:23 LG and neurons onto the the Answer in this case, okay and

58:37 onto the €1. There's also complex and complex cells, or even more

58:46 . They're receptive field you have They're selective orientation. They're selected the

58:54 Simple cells can have multiple complex, complex, geometrically receptive field properties.

59:08 go back to the simple example on off center south you see in the

59:14 and you see into the L G . Now look at the more

59:20 geometrically receptive fields of simple south of visual cortex that have bars of

59:28 You have semi hemispheres of light. have convergence of cells. You see

59:39 convergence of South Concentric south converging and a bar of light or half a

59:46 of light simple cells converging onto complex . Okay, now it's becoming a

59:54 more interesting from the primary visual cortex , right? Why? Because retina

60:02 just seeing this. And l g is just seeing this included in the

60:06 topic map point by point representation of in the outside visual field of

60:15 By the time you come to the visual cortex, now you're getting,

60:20 , any interesting things to play around . You getting bars of light in

60:26 of darkness, those air here, getting things that look like this that

60:34 like half circles. Okay, right circles, uh, getting things that

60:49 like this. Okay, Life is lot more interesting with these kind of

61:08 . Don't you think so? As to these, This is just concentric

61:13 and off. What do you have ? Okay, Let me see what

61:17 can come up with here. You want to try? I'll come up

61:21 something really cool about this. what in the world, This is

62:01 your primary visual cortex is seeing. , it's seeing the motion. So

62:06 of just playing with these circles that overlapping each other in luminescence now you

62:13 directionality. You have motion, you orientation, you have semi circles.

62:22 have bars of light. You have of darkness. You have them in

62:27 orientations. Then you get the primal off the world in the primary visual

62:36 . Eso all of this anatomy and that we walked through and geometry or

62:44 . Field Properties and the anatomy of segregation. And then blending into hilarious

62:49 then blending these complex, receptive fields us to create in the primary visual

62:59 color allows us to start blending information two eyes and allows us to see

63:07 sketch and even motion of that primal . Not a complete full view of

63:15 that in the surroundings and all of death perceptions and everything else but the

63:20 sketch of the outside world in color emotion. It is there,

63:31 This is Ah, very colorful But this image is kind of putting

63:37 of these things together, showing to that you have a micro column and

63:41 micro columns you will have cells that responsive to bars of light and specific

63:48 so that you can map out those based on their response properties of these

63:55 , based on what orientation of the of light there actually responding to.

64:01 in this case, the color doesn't a different wavelength of light and different

64:07 . But rather the color here represents in this column that are all processing

64:16 and our most sensitive thio the sensor and have the orientation selectivity for the

64:26 in this particular orientation. And the , on the other side of this

64:31 will have sensitivity to the bars of that are in horizontal orientations. So

64:38 have this pinwheel like structures where in middle of this pinwheel you'll have cells

64:45 will have overlapping properties and will be thio. Multiple orientations of the bars

64:52 these micro columns and these micro columns found in the visual cortex. is

64:59 just monkeys and humans found higher order . They're about 3200 and 50 micro

65:09 wide. These micro columns and these columns are orientation columns with the middle

65:16 the column will have cells that process orientation bars of light. But as

65:22 go mawr to the periphery from the of this column, and that's been

65:26 , like fashion. You will have for a specific orientation processing, and

65:34 they're referred to as orientation columns that discovered by scientists Google and weasel.

65:42 , and you have these, orientation columns and South. They're

65:49 complex cells. And the way that can measure activity in different angles is

65:55 voltage Insensitive dies, and we will back and talk about multiple sensitive dies

66:00 we talk about activity image ing, very briefly before we, uh,

66:07 off today, we can put all the information together where you have these

66:13 that represent micro columns, orientation columns are embedded in these lines, and

66:20 lines represent ocular dominance columns. So have one I information that has multiple

66:29 columns located in them. And then you do the cytochrome oxidase stain.

66:35 will find that the center of the dominance columns and letters 23 and 56

66:42 by blobs again putting this all And so you have the orientation columns

66:49 our micro columns interconnected with each CRA informing ocular dominance columns. And

66:57 have side of chrome on blob expression the center of these ocular dominance

67:03 And there's another way in which you measure activity and will also discuss that

67:08 we talk about the brain imaging and detail later in this course is intrinsic

67:15 signal that the brain tissue as it it has becomes mawr Act, that

67:20 actually changes its own light scattering or properties, and that you can measure

67:27 activity. Sometimes very large changes in can be seen with the naked

67:34 literally because of the reflected changes in brain activity. Those would be abnormal

67:41 waves of activity, but intrinsic optical advantage of it is that you're not

67:47 any die. You're not injecting You're just looking at how a activity

67:54 to scattering properties of life from the . You kind of penetrate deeply so

67:59 ? Only in this case looking surface the brain. Okay, great.

68:06 will end this lecture here, and be happy to
