Discuss Concepts In owls and many other birds of prey, the fovea is located toward the top of the retina rather than at the center as in humans. This arrangement correlates with the birds hunting behavior, in which they look down when they fly, scanning the ground for a meal. With this arrangement in mind, why do you think a standing owl would turn its head upside down?
How could the pineal gland, the brain structure that plays a role in annual cycles, use visual information from the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus?
Ozana was born with cataracts, which made her completely blind. When she was 14 years-old she underwent surgery to remove the cataracts, which allowed visual input to be transmitted to her brain for the first time. However, even though the surgery was a success, Ozana’s vision was never fully functional. A) Describe how the features of neural plasticity might help to explain why Ozana’s vision was not restored. B) Propose one factor that might have increased the chance that Ozana would develop the ability to see, and briefly explain why.

Explain the normal functioning of the eye to allow us to have visual acuity. What is meant by visual acuity? How does the eye adjust to facilitate this? Specifically, how do changes in near-point accommodation and astigmatism affect acuity? What is the problem with changes in near-point accommodation and astigmatism and why are they problematic? How can each of these be measured? Can these conditions be corrected? If so, how? Do these conditions change as we age?
