However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epitheliumarrow_forward

A C-major chord is played. Subsequently, the corresponding sound wave, consisting of frequencies 130.8 Hz, 164.8 Hz, and 196 Hz, arrives at a listeners eardrum. Describe what subsequently takes place in the middle ear and in the inner ear (on the Basilian membrane) before the nervous system begins processing the stimulus.arrow_forwardThe lateral geniculate nuclei (LGN)are 6-layer structures in each hemisphere, which receive input from the retina from the ipsilateral and contralateral eyes. What is true of the layer distribution of the LGN regarding how they receive inputs from the eyes? layers 1, 4 and 6 from contralateral eye layers 4,5 and 6 from ipsilateral eye layers 2,3 and 5 from ipsilateral eye a) and c)arrow_forward
