Figure 6.12:
The neural circuitry directly supports motion detection. As the image feature moves across the retina, nearby feature detection neurons (labeled
and
) activate in succession. Their outputs connect to motion detection neurons (labeled
). Due to different path lengths from
and
to
, the activation signal arrives at different times. Thus,
activates when the feature was detected by
slightly before being detected by
.
