Question
Chapter 16.4, Problem 20WDL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The areas of the brain that perceive visual stimuli, and the regions of brain and what regions recognize the stimuli reflexively.
Concept introduction:
The visual pathways starts from the retina, later on the receptors recognize the energy and convert this energy into neuron signals. The conversion of energy into stimuli to vision sensation, this process takes place in a pathway, which crosses the multiple regions of brain.

What are the neural pathways and mechanisms involved in the processing of visual information, and how do they differ from those involved in processing information from other sensory systems such as hearing, taste, and smell?
What is an example of an unconscious response to visual information?
You are driving at night on a two lane road, and you see a bright light. The light pass through your pupil, and your lens concentrates the light at retina. This stimulates the visual pathway. Your visual association center processes the signal from your eye and determines the lights is from a flashlight that an old lady is holding while crossing the street. Your visual association center sends a signal to your primary motor cortex, which sends a signal down the lateral corticospinal tract. This signal then proceeds down the spinal cord, out the posterior gray horn of the spinal cord, and out the ventral roots of efferent motor neurons. The motor signal travels from the sacral plexus and out towards the sciatic nerve. To answer this question, number the following steps in the correct order starting with the signal exiting the sciatic nerve. Number in order from 1-15

The mechanisms involved in opponent-process theory take place earlier in the perceptual process than those involved in trichromatic theory.
