This is the best explanation, of how eyeballs work, thank you so much, this was what I was asking for New year's 2020, vision not a virus. The iris, thanks again :)
"the reason they cross is because....left side... goes to the right". Basically "they cross because they cross". Maybe add that you'll explain *why* in later videos. Polarized light: Haidinger's brushes are subtle, but we do (usually subliminally) see differences in polarization. Enjoying this series so far.
What she's trying to say is not that "the nerves cross over because the nerves cross over," but "the nerves cross over because the information needs to cross over." The reason the information needs to cross over is because most of the _outputs_ cross back. This is because, at a very very early stage in development, the head twists around upside down, (this is during a period of time that the embryo is still essentially a tiny worm.) That's right... our heads really are all "on backwards," developmentally speaking. I think this happens before the notochord is developed, but I'm not sure, but the result is that a lot of things end up having to grow crossed over like this.
I never thought biology was much fun, but this is pretty exciting because it's more like physics. And if light travels as a wave, some visual feedback loops must be doing something like a DFT to see specific colors and/or store visual memories, right? Or not. But signal processing is fun. That's cool that octopuses had backside illuminated sensors before Sony. In a dystopian future we'll be growing genetically engineered octopus eyes to install in space telescopes!
Night vision in particular varies a lot based on ancient genetic history. This is extremely complex and impacts relative sensitivity to blue light, and color constancy adjustment. Some people can see stars as different colors, where most cannot. This is likely either from Neanderthal or Denisovan adaptations to the winter dark conditions in northern latitudes and the heed to see in extremely low light conditions shifted strongly to blue light dominance, snd to still be able to distinguish color despite the distorted color spectrum and very low light levels.
At 6 minutes where your talking about the light spectrum , you said lower longer wavelength corresponds to a higher frequency . The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency is how the spectrum works.
Thank you; it was very enjoyable to listen to! Curious question: If the photoreceptors work in 'continuous' mode, as you said (they hyperpolarize according to the number of photons received), how is the brightness information transmitted through the ganglia cells and toward the brain? I presume the brightness correlates with the firing frequency of the axons that go through the optical cords? Next question: is there a single axon per "pixel"? You said, there are about a million axons in the wire. Does that mean, technically speaking, that we have a resolution of 1 megapixel? Or is there some sort of multiplexing going on?
That is correct, the firing rate of the retinal ganglion cells (RGC) is proportional to brightness. Each RGC is polled over many photoreceptors, and each photoreceptor contributes to many RGCs, so there is massive multiplexing going on. Next video is on this exact topic, coming out tomorrow!
@@bingsbrain Thank you for the quick explanation. I roughly remember the retinal structures from the textbooks, but no one explained how information travels to the brain. It's great to learn from someone with such a passion for her work!
That was very fascinating. Thank you very much for this Cristal clear explanation.❤ Would you mind to extend this topic in same detail to explain why we watch movies in ca. 24fps ?
There is another never resolved hypothesis about cone cells from 70 years ago that hypothesizes that the reason cone cells are cone shaped is that they also serve to act a lot like prisms, with different wavelengths being absorbed at different depths in the cones. This is in addition to. not instead of the tuned dyes (opsins) used by the cells.
Could you do a video on what could be happening in the brain to people who get blurry vision from covid? Is it the thalamus or cortex that is inflamed?
31:54 , wow, good! I thought that was because damage, thanks for letting me know it's normal. I subscribed and am going to start watching some of your other lectures. It's great how you were able to help fill in major gaps in my knowledge and correct a lot of the things I had wrong due to the oversimplification of teaching I received in my earlier school years.
Quantum sensors, turns out that all of our senses, are quantum senses and our brain, the most bad ass quantum computer, that ever existed. (at least, on Earth, for the past couple of thousand years).
the reason why all animals (chordates ... ?) have this cumbersome design where brains control the opposite side of the body would be an interesting topic too. and why are there two brains in the first place.
Out of interest, how exactly are these lectures done? like the whole black screen, the images. I'm imagining all the graphics have transparent backgrounds and maybe she's on some green screen or something?
The black of the eye takes the light in, in this way - the white of the eye takes in the light like this I (together it is this+) and the collar of the eye hits both from every side possible
Just a min here.... Isn't it longer and shorter wave lengths / lower and higher frequencies....cause u went on to say lower wavelengths ah couple times or is that the actual descriptive phrase (lower wave length) ...I'm not not picking I'm just curious because Google is not what it use to be and neither is TH-cam beings some people got their education from clips and videos alone
What I hate about lectures like this is that my brain quickly goes off on tangents. I'm 2 minutes in and I'm distracted by questions. Why does the visual information crossover like that? What evolutionary advantage could there be for that? When did this crossover occur? How many species share this crossover with us? Can we trace the genetic history of the brain feature? If so, how far back? What was the Earth like when this feature became dominant? If I couldn't pause this lecture, I would miss the next 3 or 4 minutes it. It always seems that each 5 minute slice of one lecture skips over information that could be expanded into another 2 hour lecture.
Great lecture, but the use of the inverted electromagnetic spectrum was an interesting choice. Is it a convention among the medical field or she just wanted to mess up with people? 🤣
What is the reason the two wire cross over to the other side: the left to right side, and the right to the left side? Is it because the reason the wires cross over is to create more length and thus more time to transmit the signals to the back of the brain?
More time to transmit the signals would actually be a problem. The reason why is because very early in development, the head turns around upside down, (at this point in development, the face will be facing up, not "forwards," and thus, turning it around means turning it upside down, not turning it backwards. But ultimately, this makes the head backwards.) this happens before the notochord develops, so there's not a lot of structure to the organism, but a lot of the groundwork, the electrical potentials that tell organs where they need to be placed as they migrate during development, will be laid out across tissues. The body has to cross the signals from the eyes over for them to wind up in the same regions of the brain as the signals from the rest of the body --- left visual signals to where left sensory information is being collected, and right visual signals to where right sensory information is being collected. The evolutionary change that caused this happened sometime after our basal ancestor with arthropods, and you don't see this occur with arthropods during development. Their heads stay right side up. Edit: take some of this with a grain of salt, I may have gotten some detail wrong, but this is how I recall it.
@@peppermintgal4302 Fascinating! Have you followed the breakthrough research by Prof. Michael Levin with flatworms? His study on developmental bioelectricity: ways in which all cells connect in somatic electrical networks that store, process, and act on information to control large-scale body structure. His lab creates and employs tools to read and edit the bioelectric code that guides the proto-cognitive computations of the body, much as neuroscientists are learning to read and write the mental content of the brain. This is very similar to fetus' head turns around, upside down before the notochord develops with electrical potentials that tell where tissues to be located!
An invaluable addition to understanding of temporal superposition Singularity-point relative-timing reciprocation-recirculation Apature of entangled sense-in-common cause-effect holography. Parallel coexistence time-timing sync-duration holography is superposition superspun around the Centre of Logarithmic Time Duration Timing, a self evident fact shown in this video, when you know to expect these wave-pulse-evolution arrangements of information processing.
Translated to human: This video explains a complex concept about how time and events are interconnected. It shows how time and timing can overlap and interact in a way that affects our understanding of cause and effect. Essentially, it highlights how different aspects of time sync up and influence each other, revealing patterns that are easier to recognize once you know what to look for. (So yes, dear comment reader, this above comment makes little sense)

that was so so good i didnt pick up my phone once lol
Please don't stop this. Teach us neuroscience and data science for neuroscience in a systemic manner please doctor.

Doctor i would like to more about foveal vision, peripheral vision. How to use foveal vision and peripheral vision...

Why do the “cables” cross? Does comparative anatomy suggest possible reasons as to how this came about?

More than meets the eye....
I just have a question. Can some people see light differently therefore see things of light by the way their eyes perceive light
Isn't it just what you see < go tro the eyes like - and the brain gives
The black of the eye takes the light in, in this way - the white of the eye takes in the light like this I (together it is this+) and the collar of the eye hits both from every side possible
And the brain fils up the gaps
To clear up what you r looking at

What controls the eyebrows? are they crosswired or wired laterally?
the so-called "optic nerve" is a tract within the brain.
