  2. Two-streams hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-streams_hypothesis

    Goodale and Milner [2] amassed an array of anatomical, neuropsychological, electrophysiological, and behavioural evidence for their model. According to their data, the ventral 'perceptual' stream computes a detailed map of the world from visual input, which can then be used for cognitive operations, and the dorsal 'action' stream transforms incoming visual information to the requisite ...

  3. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    V1 transmits information to two primary pathways, called the ventral stream and the dorsal stream. [4] The ventral stream begins with V1, goes through visual area V2, then through visual area V4, and to the inferior temporal cortex (IT cortex). The ventral stream, sometimes called the "What Pathway", is associated with form recognition and ...

  4. Vision for perception and vision for action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_for_perception_and...

    The second pathway, the ventral stream, processes information relating to shape, size, objects, orientation, and text. This is commonly known as the ‘what’ system. Visual stimuli in this system process ventrally from the primary visual cortex to the medial temporal lobe. In childhood development, vision for action and vision for perception ...

  5. Visual memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_memory

    The dorsal stream (green) and ventral stream (purple) are both actively involved in visual memory. Both pathways originate in the visual cortex. There is a visual cortex in each hemisphere of the brain, much of which is located in the Occipital lobe. The left hemisphere visual cortex receives signals mainly from the right visual field and the ...

  6. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Along with this increasing complexity of neural representation may come a level of specialization of processing into two distinct pathways: the dorsal stream and the ventral stream (the Two Streams hypothesis, [39] first proposed by Ungerleider and Mishkin in 1982). The dorsal stream, commonly referred to as the "where" stream, is involved in ...

  7. Lateral geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_geniculate_nucleus

    62209. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] In neuroanatomy, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN; also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex) is a structure in the thalamus and a key component of the mammalian visual pathway. It is a small, ovoid, ventral projection of the thalamus where the thalamus ...

  8. Inferior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_temporal_gyrus

    They are labeled the "what" and "where" streams, respectively. The Inferior Temporal Cortex receives information from the ventral stream, understandably so, as it is known to be a region essential in recognizing patterns, faces, and objects. [12] The dorsal stream (green) and ventral stream (purple) originating in the primary visual cortex.

  9. Motion perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_perception

    The dorsal stream (green) and ventral stream (purple) are shown. They originate from a common source in visual cortex. The dorsal stream is responsible for detection of location and motion. Motion perception is the process of inferring the speed and direction of elements in a scene based on visual, vestibular and proprioceptive inputs.
