What would vision be like after a drug has destroyed all the cones in the retina?
Three patients have suffered destruction of different portions of their visual pathway. Patient 1 has lost the right optic tract, patient 2 has lost the nerve fibers that cross at the optic chiasm, and patient 3 has lost the left occipital lobe. Draw a picture of what each person would perceive through each eye when looking at a white wall.

- Figure 36.14 Cochlear implants can restore hearing in people who have a nonfunctional cochlea The implant consists of a microphone that picks up sound. A speech processor selects sounds in the range of human speech, and a transmitter converts these sounds to electrical impulses, which are then sent to the auditory nerve. Which of the following types of hearing loss would not be restored by a cochlear implant? Hearing loss resulting from absence or loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti. Hearing loss resulting from an abnormal auditory nerve. Hearing loss resulting from fracture of the cochlea.
