Colour Vision: Primary Visual Cortex Shows Its Influence
نویسنده
چکیده
New results have revealed that neurons in visual area V1 are influenced by chromatic context, in a way consistent with colour constancy. Other studies have mapped the internal cone-input structure of V1 receptive fields. Put together, these findings suggest important dual roles for V1 in colour perception.

Colour through the thalamus.
Visual perception in humans and other primates depends on the retino-thalamo-cortical pathway. This pathway begins with retinal ganglion cells, which have axonal terminations in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. Each ganglion cell axon provides input to one or more LGN relay neurones and, in turn, nearly all the LGN relay neurones project to the primary visual cortex. Thus, ...
متن کاملColour and luminance selectivity of spatial and temporal interactions in orientation perception
Previous studies have commented upon the similar phenomenology of simultaneous and successive interactions in the perception of orientation. These similarities have been taken as evidence of common mechanisms underlying the simultaneous tilt illusion (TI) and the successive tilt aftereffect (TAE). We measured the TI and TAE for four subjects for combinations of test and inducing stimuli modulat...
متن کاملColour Vision: Primary Visual Cortex Shows Its Influence Dispatch
In a landmark statement, Crick and Koch [1] argued against primary visual cortex (V1) being the site for consciousness, citing the fact that V1 neurons did not display the properties necessary for colour constancy, a cornerstone of our conscious experience. Colour constancy is what makes the redness of a red apple stable under changing illumination. All proposed mechanisms for colour constancy ...
متن کاملVisual half-field development in children: Detection of colour-contrast-defined forms
Recently we have shown that children's ability to perceive motion-defined forms shows an asymmetry in the left and right visual half-fields which disappears in adulthood. The present study is focused on the visual half-field development of colour contrast vision in the same group of subjects. It was found that colour contrast thresholds for the detection of colour-contrast-defined forms decreas...
متن کاملPreserved Imagery
We report the case of a patient who, after sequential bilateral strokes in the occipital regions sparing the primary visual cortex, developed a severe deficit of colour perception. At variance with other reports of acquired achromatopsic patients, she showed a perfectly vivid visual imagery for colours. These findings, together with similar data in domains other than colour processing, challeng...
