  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. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsolateral_prefrontal_cortex

    The DLPFC has connections with the orbitofrontal cortex, as well as the thalamus, parts of the basal ganglia (specifically, the dorsal caudate nucleus), the hippocampus, and primary and secondary association areas of neocortex (including posterior temporal, parietal, and occipital areas).

  4. Interactions between the emotional and executive brain systems

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactions_between_the...

    The dorsal stream activates by the presence of response conflict. The dmPFC relays information on past reinforcement to the dlPFC, which initiates selective attention. dlPFC influences action and emotion by weighing the importance of competing goals/representations in the temporal cortex.

  5. Agnosia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosia

    The ventral stream is depicted in purple and the dorsal stream is depicted in green. Agnosia is a neurological disorder characterized by an inability to process sensory information . Often there is a loss of ability to recognize objects, persons, sounds , shapes, or smells while the specific sense is not defective nor is there any significant ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Constructional apraxia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructional_apraxia

    The dorsal stream ("where pathway") ends in the parietal lobe while the ventral stream ("what pathway") terminates in the temporal lobe. [7] [11] Damage to the parietal lobe is highly correlated with constructional apraxia since it is involved in drawing and copying. The parietal lobe is also critical for remapping spatial position across ...

  8. Default mode network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_mode_network

    In neuroscience, the default mode network (DMN), also known as the default network, default state network, or anatomically the medial frontoparietal network (M-FPN), is a large-scale brain network primarily composed of the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, precuneus and angular gyrus.

  9. Occipital lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe

    Primary visual cortex projects to the occipital areas of the ventral stream (visual area V2 and visual area V4), and the occipital areas of the dorsal stream—visual area V3, visual area MT (V5), and the dorsomedial area (DM). The ventral stream is known for processing the "what" in vision, while the dorsal stream handles the "where/how".
