The Ancient Form of Vision That Connects the Eye to the Brain
11:40 - 19:01 (07:21)
The most primitive form of vision, which connects the eyes to the rest of the brain, is what some early versions of human beings had before pattern vision. Cells that perform this role are similar to insect eyes, and relay light environment subconsciously to the areas in the brain that have and house the circadian clock or the circadian pacemaker.

Animals rely on their circadian rhythms to keep them in sync with their environment, anticipating and adapting to seasonal changes, and avoiding dangers like missing food or becoming prey.

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the ancient form of vision that connects the eyes to the rest of the brain and how it is the most ancient form of vision, similar to that of insect eyes, and how it allows the cells to communicate day and night information to the brain in a small subset of cells.

Researchers have discovered retinal ganglion cells (IPRGCs) which contribute a little bit to image formation in the monkey eye, and have proven to have image-forming functions through further research.

Summary
Researchers have discovered retinal ganglion cells (IPRGCs) which contribute a little bit to image formation in the monkey eye, and have proven to have image-forming functions through further research. David Burson did a seminal experiment focusing on the oscillator in the brain that drives circadian rhythms and the retinal input it receives.
