Membra = -40 -60 -80 Time 38. What is synaptic integration? Name and provide an example for the types of integration discussed in this course. (4pts) 39. We did a case study in that focused on Eric. Eric has retinitis pigmentosa, in particular Usher's Syndrome (pts). a. Describe the type of visual impairment that Eric had in his visual field test. b. Given what you know about the visual system and the areas of Eric's vision that was affected, what type of sensory cells were primarily affected. c. What type of vision would be most impacted by Eric's condition: scotopic, mesopic or photopic? Why?
