Is the rod visual field temporally homogeneous?
Cone vision has been shown to be temporally inhomogeneous across the visual field. In the periphery, contrast sensitivity is lower for low temporal frequencies and higher for high temporal frequencies. Here we ask a similar question for rod vision at mesopic luminances. Isolation is obtained by testing a well documented rod monochromat. We show that the rod visual field exhibits only a modest d...
متن کاملMutual rod-cone suppression within the central visual field.
Under mesopic conditions the contrast sensitivity of the central visual field is reduced as the result of a non-linear interaction between rod- and cone-mediated signals, each of which is capable of higher sensitivity in isolation. The interaction is produced only when the rod-mediated system is driven at flicker rates above 6 Hz. This finding bears upon how rod and cone signals are combined an...
متن کاملNeuroeducation, Is the New Field Emerging?
Introduction: Thanks to advanced imaging devices, the rapid growth of neurosciences and identification of various functions in different parts of the brain has lead to new perspectives open in a variety of sciences. This paper outlines the prospects for integrating findings of neuroscience and education. Methods: This paper is the outcome of a non-systematic review through searching scientific...
متن کاملA temporally regulated, diffusible activity is required for rod photoreceptor development in vitro.
The retina is a relatively simple and well-characterized CNS structure in which cell-cell interactions have been hypothesized to influence cell type determination. By manipulating cell density in serum-free cultures we show that rat rod photoreceptor development requires a diffusible activity produced by neonatal retinal cells. This effect is not mediated by changes in cell survival or mitosis....
متن کاملIs the Universe homogeneous?
The standard model of cosmology is based on the existence of homogeneous surfaces as the background arena for structure formation. Homogeneity underpins both general relativistic and modified gravity models and is central to the way in which we interpret observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the galaxy distribution. However, homogeneity cannot be directly observed in the gal...
