About the visual system mind maps

GoConqr Original

What the Visual System mind maps cover

The maps offer different ways into this unit. Photoreceptors focuses on one part of the visual system, while From Retina to Cortex follows a broader route. Object Recognition and Visual Agnosias move towards recognition and its disorders.

Choose a map and follow its branches

A map titled The Visual System is a useful starting point for connecting anatomy, retinal cell types and phototransduction. For a narrower topic, Lateral Geniculate Nucleus sets out its layered structure. Look at the main branches first, then follow the smaller connections.

Revise with maps

After reading a branch, try explaining its connections without looking. Return to the map to check what you missed, then compare it with another map on a related topic. When you want to practise terms or check your recall, switch to flashcards or a quiz on the unit page. Try making your own map for a topic you want to revisit.

Frequently asked questions

Which mind map is a good place to start?

A map titled The Visual System is a useful starting point if you want to connect anatomy, retinal cell types and phototransduction. For a more focused route, Lateral Geniculate Nucleus covers its layered structure. The choice depends on whether you want a broader map or a closer look at one topic.

Do the maps cover visual recognition and its disorders?

Yes. Object Recognition is one of the listed maps, and Visual Agnosias covers a deficit in object recognition. The latter also discusses damage to extrastriate areas. Together, these maps offer a way to explore recognition alongside a related disorder within this unit.

Are these mind maps free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The maps were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and save your quiz scores.
