“In The Name of God” Visual Pathway Ventral & Dorsal Presented by: Yoosef Najian
Cones • Rods Parvocells (P cells) Magnocells (M cells)
Question ? • Sensitivity • Stimulus feature M cells P cells • Color Contrast • Luminance contrast • Spatial Frequency • Temporal Frequency NO Yes Higher Lower Lower Higher Higher Lower
Inferior Retina Superior Retina Inferior V1 Superior V1 Upper visual Field Lower visual Field
Layers of the Cortex • I : Molecular Layer • II : External Granule Cell Layer • III : External Pyramidal Cell Layer • IV : Internal Granule Cell Layer • V : Internal Pyramidal Cell Layer • VI : Multiform Layer
What System = Parvocellular Pathway = P Pathway = Ventral Pathway = Temporal Pathway Where System = Magnocellular Pathway = M Pathway = Dorsal Pathway = Parietal Pathway
Organization of Visual Areas in Macaque and Human Cerebral CortexDavid C. Van EssenIn: Visual Neurosciences (L. Chalupa and J. Werner, eds.)
visual (blue , 52%) somatosensory (green, 10%) auditory (red, 3%) motor (magenta, 8%) olfactory (brown, 1%) Unassigned cortex (gray, 25%) is mostly cognitive or emotional in function
How can we identify distinct visual areas? • Architecture • Connectivity • Visual Topography • Functional Characteristics
Sulci : • STS: Superior temporal sulcus • AMTS: Anterior middle temporal sulcus • PMTS: Posterior middle temporal sulcus • OTS: Occipitotemporal sulcus • RS: Rhinal sulcus • IOS: Inferior occipital sulcus • LS: Latral sulcus
Areas: • TEOd ~ PITd • TEOv ~ PITv • TEpd ~ CITd • TEpv ~ CITv • TEad ~ AITd • TEav ~ AITv
