  2. Vitreous body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_body

    The vitreous body at birth is homogenous with a finely striated pattern. With early aging the vitreous develops narrow transvitreal "channels". The cortex is denser than the centre with development. From adolescence, vitreous tracts form from anterior to posterior. These vitreous tracts are fine sheet-like condensations of vitreous. Named tracts

  3. Vitreous membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_membrane

    The vitreous membrane (or hyaloid membrane or vitreous cortex) is a layer of collagen separating the vitreous humour from the rest of the eye. At least two parts have been identified anatomically. The posterior hyaloid membrane separates the rear of the vitreous from the retina. It is a false anatomical membrane. [1]

  4. External capsule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_capsule

    The external capsule is a series of white matter fiber tracts in the brain. These fibers run between the most lateral (toward the side of the head) segment of the lentiform nucleus (more specifically the putamen) and the claustrum. The white matter of the external capsule contains fibers known as corticocortical association fibers.

  5. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The corresponding halves of the field of view (right and left) are sent to the left and right halves of the brain, respectively, to be processed. That is, the right side of primary visual cortex deals with the left half of the field of view from both eyes, and similarly for the left brain. [31]

  6. Visual processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_processing

    The visual system is organized hierarchically, with anatomical areas that have specialized functions in visual processing. Low-level visual processing is concerned with determining different types of contrast among images projected onto the retina whereas high-level visual processing refers to the cognitive processes that integrate information from a variety of sources into the visual ...

  7. Vitreous base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_base

    The vitreous base is an area in the fundus of the eye in which the vitreous membrane, neural retina, and pigment epithelium all are firmly adherent, one to the other. The vitreous membrane is more firmly attached to the retina anteriorly at the vitreous base. The vitreous membrane does not normally detach from the vitreous base, although it can ...

  8. Gyrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrification

    Gyrification in the human brain. Gyrification is the process of forming the characteristic folds of the cerebral cortex. [1] The peak of such a fold is called a gyrus (pl. gyri), and its trough is called a sulcus (pl. sulci).

  9. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    [30]: 107 [31] Interestingly, research has shown quite opposite function of brain lateralisation, i.e. right hemisphere creatively and chaotically links between concepts and left hemisphere tends to adhere to specific date and time, although generally adhering to the pattern of left-brain as linguistic interpretation and right brain as spatio ...
