Area 10 de Atencion Primaria de Madrid
Area 10 de Atencion Primaria de Madrid is a hospital in Madrid, Spain.
Area 7A
Monkey parietal cortex.
Area centralis
Area in a vertebrate retina rich in cones, with little pooling of receptor outputs. In the human eye, the area centralis corresponds to the fovea, but this in not so in all species.
Area contrast
A contrast effect which is not limited to the borders of an enclosed region. The change of brightness produced by contrast at the edges of the region spreads uniformly over the entire enclosed region.
Area de Salud de Lanzarote
Area de Salud de Lanzarote is a hospital on the island of Lanzarote (Canary Islands, Spain).
Area Hospitalaria de Valme

PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Angle of refraction
Angle between a refracted ray of light and the perpendicular to the refracting surface.
Anisotropic
Any process or filter which is directionally selective or biased. (As opposed to Isotropic).
APB
2-amino-4-phosoponobutyrate. When selectively applied to the mud puppy retina the On-bipolars, On-amicrines and On-ganglion cells become unresponsive to light, whereas the Off-cells retain their response properties. Allows for the study of the Off-cell pathway in isolation. Major finding is that the center-surround antagonism of Off-center retinal ganglion cells is not significantly altered suggesting that it is not a product of the interaction between On and Off cells.
Aperture problem
Any motion detecting device with a field of view which is small relative to an edge moving through it can only detect the component of velocity at right angles to the edge, while the component parallel to the edge is invisible.
Apparent motion
A observer presented with a display in which two items (lines, dots) in different locations are alternately exposed at certain interstimulus intervals will report seeing the item move from the first position to the second position. Illusion depends on the spatial separation, luminance and duration of the items.

Area 7A
Monkey parietal cortex.
Area centralis

Area contrast
A contrast effect which is not limited to the borders of an enclosed region. The change of brightness produced by contrast at the edges of the region spreads uniformly over the entire enclosed region.
Assimilation
A neutral pattern of intermediate luminance appears brighter if a superimposed pattern is made of high luminance lines, yet darker if the pattern consists of low luminance lines. This effect is in the opposite direction as is seen in simultaneous contrast.
Automatic gain control
A fast gain control that aims to a constant output by changing gain in proportion to signal strength.
