Cryotherapy
Technique using liquid nitrogen, for example, to freeze warts and precancerous lesions.
Custodial parent
The parent who has legal custody (charge and control) of a child.
Cytomegalovirus infection
A common viral infection transmitted by saliva, breast milk, or urine.Relatively rare and relatively mild, the infection does occasionally causedeafness and neurological problems in newborns.
Cafe Wall illusion
Although the lines composing the image are parallel, they do not appear to be.
Calcarine sulcus
Location of V1 in the human occipital lobe. The central visual field is represented in hte psoterior calcarine sulcus. The peripheral visual field is represented in the anterior portion of the calcarine sulus.
Canonical viewpoint
Center-Surround
A type of spatial receptive field structure in which the central region of the receptive field and the Surround portion influence cell activities in different ways e.g. ON-center, OFF-Surround
Chromatic adaptation technique
Used to identify receptor inputs. An adapting light is chosen such that it affects the response to one of the inputs to a cell far more than the other. The cells response is selectively desensitized so that the cell is largely driven by the other input. This way the response properties of the cell can now be studied in relative isolation.
Chromostereopsis
The optics of the eye are such that short wavelengths are refracted slightly more than long wavelengths creating a positional disparity on the retina. When viewed by two eyes a stereoscopic disparity is obtained. This is termed Chromostereopsis or Chromatic Stereopsis
Closed-Loop control
A control system in which the output is continuously modified by feedback from the environment.
Color opponency
When a cell is excited by one part of the visible spectrum and inhibited by another. First observed in ganglion cells in the retina.
