Batman & Neocortex
Hey Batman, ever wondered how our brains process light and darkness when we plan moves? I’ve been scribbling about the neural circuits that get triggered in low‑light and would love to hear your take.
I get it. In dim light the rods in your retina fire and the signal goes to the lateral geniculate nucleus, then the parietal lobe that tells you depth and motion. The visual cortex fine‑tunes what you see, while the prefrontal area still plans but leans more on feel and sound. It’s a mix of low‑light vision and other senses that lets you move with purpose.
