Modules 5.2 and 5.3 · Continue from Week 7
Week 7 began with light, the retina and color. Week 8 follows signals through the brain and explains how different visual cells recognize edges, objects, faces, motion and space.
Visual pathway, center–surround fields, simple/complex neurons, cortical columns and development.
What/action streams, faces, objects, cortical color, MT/MST and motion aftereffects.
Connection to Week 7: Cones and rods begin the code. Ganglion-cell axons carry it out. Week 8 explains where the signals go and how later cells specialize.
Review Week 7Learn each term in the order it fits into the vision process. Start at light and the retina, travel to the visual cortex, and finish with recognition, color, and motion. This section combines the verified Week 7 and Week 8 terms instead of giving you disconnected definitions.
Open one lesson at a time. Every lesson explains the big idea, precise terms, why it works, connections, and one Stop & Check question.
Explore the routes and receptive fields, then answer interactive questions with feedback and saved progress.
All assigned pages organized in reading order, with the main idea and what to locate in figures and examples.
Open Week 8 Reading CompanionLearn the terms one small story set at a time. Flip to see the definition and a memory cue, then mark Got It, Not Sure, or Got Wrong. Choose more than one deck when you feel ready. Your results save to the Week 8 tracker.
Open Small Flip Decks →See the definition and choose the correct term from three course terms. Study small connected sets in story order, select several sets together, or review only Got Wrong and Not Sure questions. Answers save to the Week 8 tracker.
Open Multiple Choice Decks →Study 297 teaching flashcards in 12 connected parts, following the order of the Vision study guide: from light, receptors, color, and the retina to visual pathways, cortical processing, objects, faces, and motion. Includes detailed explanations, textbook figures, comparisons, and professor lecture scenarios. This is separate from your existing Week 8 flashcards.

Practice all 40 original Chapter 5 Vision multiple-choice questions as a separate quiz, including the five eye-diagram questions. Finish first to reveal your score, explanations, and missed answers. Retake missed items and track results separately from the existing Week 8 test.
Your original Canvas result was 33/40; these are new practice attempts. Correct answers are derived from course material because the official key is hidden in the Canvas review.
Open 40-Question Professor Quiz →Action potentials become the recorded firing of visual neurons.
Excitatory and inhibitory inputs explain opposite center–surround zones.
Correlational imaging and direct stimulation answer different research questions.
Photoreceptor signals feed cortical color, face and motion systems.
