Visual Pathways CORTEX Subcortical; Brainstem
Dorsal Stream (towards Parietal) Visuospatial Object location (“Where”) How to interact with world (“How”). Optic Ataxia: can recognize an object but can not grasp it.
Ventral Stream (towards Temporal) Object Recognition Damage causes agnosia: a loss of the ability to recognize a class of shapes. Pattern Recognition: Classification Individual instances
Receptive Field The part of the visual field in which light will influence the activity of the cell Any one cell only “sees” a very small part of the world. It remains forever ignorant of everything outside its receptive field.
