Visual Pathway
Retina
|
Outer Nuclear Layer The Outer Nuclear Layer consists of photoreceptors. Photoreceptor cells as the name goes; are in charged of receiving protons or light stimulus in the retina and creates a chemical reaction when light stimulus is present. The 2 type of photoreceptors are: 1. Rods
|
Inner Nuclear Layer
The inner Nuclear Layer consists of
the following: 1. Bipolar Cells 2. Horizontal Cells 3. Amacrine Cells The Bipolar Cells that are involved in the edge detection process, reacts to the chemical reactions by the rods and produces Edge information for the next layer of cells

The Ganglion Layer consists of On and Off Ganglion Cells that produces visual Information (pulses of different frequency) that is used by the Visual Cortex for edge orientation and motion detection. |
V1 Layer 4 of Visual Cortex
|
The layer 4 of the V2 region in the Visual Cortex contains Simple cells which makes up a few ganglion cells aligned in a specific orientation to detect the orientation of the edge for motion detection. |

  |
 Complex Cells The layer 4 of the V2 region in the Visual Cortex contains Complex cells which makes up a simple cells over a Specific visual space to detect the motion of the edge |
