Intelligence

Intelligence refers to the intellectual functioning that compares a person's intelligence quotient (IQ) with other people of the same age. In other words, it is the ability to understand circumstances or situations and arrive at appropriate solutions. Both animals and plants exhibit intelligence.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/occipital) to learn more about a transverse section throughthe brain that depicts the visual pathway from the eye tothe occipital cortex. The first half of the pathway is theprojection from the RGCs through the optic nerve to thelateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus on either side.This first fiber in the pathway synapses on a thalamic cellthat then projects to the visual cortex in the occipital lobewhere “seeing,” or visual perception, takes place. This video gives an abbreviated overview of the visual systemby concentrating on the pathway from the eyes to theoccipital lobe. The video makes the statement (at 0:45) that“specialized cells in the retina called ganglion cells convertthe light rays into electrical signals.” What aspect of retinalprocessing is simplified by that statement? Explain youranswer.
