RETINA INVERSION AND VISUAL FIBER CROSSINGS AS NEUROANATOMICAL MIRROR TRANSFORMATION MECHANISMS

Abstract
The visual fiber crossings and the retina inversion are the neurophysiological phenomenon well studied in neuroanatomical but not in functional aspects. From analysis of literature data, the author has shown that the crossings and the inversion are the mirror transformation mechanisms, providing the shaping of such neuron model (map, projection), with the coordinate axes directions on the perceiving side are non-mirror (and mirror on the giving side) to those of the source original — the united vision field “face” and the “face” of its components, the vision fields. If these transformations were absent, the directions of the coordinate axes on the model perceiving side would be mirror to those of the original as in optical projection.
