AboutNicholas Unger Expertise I am particularly adept at answering any sort of question relating to the action of various neurotransmitters on neurons. Any sort of Neurophysiology/Cell Physiology or Neuropharmacology questions, particularly ion channel based in relation to physiological response. Anything other than that will earn you an educated guess.
Experience I have worked in a Neurophysiology lab for 3 years now on various projects for my dissertation. My expertise is the hypothalamic homeostatic control mechanisms in thermoregulation. Also neural control mechanisms in general as well as Suspended Animation techniques and theory.

Expert: Nicholas Unger Date: 6/29/2008 Subject: Is the world upside down?
Question I understand what we see is actually in upside down, but our retina manage to turn it back to what our brain perceive (something like that...)
Is the world like -- we walk on the ceiling, the ocean is above and the sky is below, everything we think we understand is exactly backwards from the way our brains interpret it?
I am very worry about that...is it really true? what is the world like? upside down?
Answer Rambo,
This is indeed a very interesting question. We can only see what colors are reflected back into our eyes. What if there is a whole other realm that lives in the Infrared realm (Ghosts? hehe). Who determines what is upside down and rightside up is? Humans of course. This is the way we were meant to see the world.
If you even tried to see the world in upside down vision your eyes would "Right" themselves within 90 days so it wouldn't matter. So relax and don't worry so much.
