When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...

This is a human visual pathway, including the optic chiasm, tracts and radiations, revealed by MRI. This subject has a large pituitary tumor, in red, causing compression. These tumors caused by ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...
