  2. Binocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    Principle of binocular vision with horopter shown. In biology, binocular vision is a type of vision in which an animal has two eyes capable of facing the same direction to perceive a single three-dimensional image of its surroundings. Binocular vision does not typically refer to vision where an animal has eyes on opposite sides of its head and ...

  3. Binocular neurons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_neurons

    Disparity attraction and repulsion is believed to be directly related to the physiological properties of binocular neurons in the visual cortex. [1] Use of the stereo model has allowed for interpretation of the source of differing peak locations found in disparity tuning curves of some cells in visual cortex.

  4. Blind spot (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_(vision)

    Distribution of rods and cones along a line passing through the fovea and the blind spot of a human eye [1]. A blind spot, scotoma, is an obscuration of the visual field.A particular blind spot known as the physiological blind spot, "blind point", or punctum caecum in medical literature, is the place in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the ...

  5. Optic nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_nerve

    Vision loss is typically sudden and most commonly occurs upon waking up in the morning. This condition is most common in diabetic patients 40–70 years old. Other optic nerve problems are less common. Optic nerve hypoplasia is the underdevelopment of the optic nerve resulting in little to no vision in the affected eye. Tumors, especially those ...

  6. Optic chiasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_chiasm

    The number of axons that do not cross the midline and project ipsilaterally depends on the degree of binocular vision of the animal (3% in mice and 45% in humans do not cross). [9] Ephrin-B2 is expressed at the chiasm midline by radial glia and acts as a repulsive signal to axons originating from the ventrotemporal retina expressing EphB1 ...

  7. Interocular transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interocular_transfer

    Interocular transfer occurs in the relational-motion detectors, which are of the binocular or monocular class. The study confirms the presence on interocular transfer of MAE, and localizes the adaptation for MAE in either an individual's eye, or the brain areas which combine the information from both set of eyes.

  8. Ocular dominance column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance_column

    The ocular dominance columns cover the primary (striate) visual cortex, with the exception of monocular regions of the cortical map corresponding to peripheral vision and the blind spot. [7] If the columns corresponding to one eye were colored, a pattern similar to that shown in the accompanying figure would be visible when looking at the ...

  9. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    For example, binocular vision, which is the basis for stereopsis and is important for depth perception, covers 114 degrees (horizontally) of the visual field in humans; [7] the remaining peripheral ~50 degrees on each side [6] have no binocular vision (because only one eye can see those parts of the visual field). Some birds have a scant 10 to ...
