The cells in the cerebral cortex are neurons and unmylinated axons, hence the term grey matter.

Pyramidal cells are located in the region?
cerebral cortex
When you look at a clock showing 8am certain brain cells in your visual cortex are more responsive than when the hands show 10am. This is most indicative of?
feature detection
What neurons are there in the eye?
Specialized cells, called retinal ganglions, together with bipolar cells, amacrine cells, and horizontal cells, carry the visual information to the optic nerve (cranial nerve 2). This nerve then carries the information from the retina at the back of the eye to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe (back of the head).

Most lower motor neurons are located where?
Motor neurons are nerve cells that are located in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or brain stem.
What cells for visual processing are located closest to the back of the retina?
rods and cones
Pyramidal cells are located in the region?
cerebral cortex
Are most cells in the visual cortex binocular...monocular...or different in their left and right eye preference for orientation and direction?
Binocular
Where visual images are perceived?
In the primary visual cortex. Information passes from the retina to the bipolar cells, these impulses travel through the optic nerve, which is made up of the axons of ganglion cells, and extend to several regions of the brain including the thalamus. The impulses are then sent further along neurones, to the primary visual cortex, where further processing of the information occurs.
What cells in the back of your head will help you see in the very dark?
The rod cells in the back of your eye become active in the dark; the cone cells are active in the light. All the nerve impulses from the eyes go back to the visual cortex in the back of the brain where they are decoded, or interpreted, as visual experience.
Which cells comprise the chain of five cells in the visual pathway beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina?
retina-optic nerve-optic chiasma synapse at thalamus-optic radiation-optic cortex
The occipital lobe is the primary area for what?
the occipital lobe is the primary vision center - visual information is received through the retinal cells, then passed on to the lateral geniculate bodies of the thalamus, which then project to the occipital lobe or "visual cortex".

Mitral cells synapse with?
granule cells in olfactory cortex

rods and cones
What are the only neurons of cerebellar cortex that send their axons outside of cerebellar cortex?
purkinje cells
