Occipital Lobe (test 2) Flashcards
where is the LGN
in the thalamus
where is the first place processing starts
V1
division on the lateral surface
no clear division
division on the medial surface
parieto-occipital surface calcarine sulcus (much of V1 is here)
division of the ventral surface
- lingual gyrus (V2 and V3)
- fusiform gyrus (hV4)
how many layers in V1
6+
how is area V1 organized
laminar organization
results of cytochrome oxidase staining in V1
- blobs: colour perception
- interblobs: form and motion perception (orientation sensitive)
results of cytochrome oxidase staining in V2
- thin stripes: colour perception
- thick stripes: form and motor perception
V4
the color vision which helps in the perception of movement, position, and depth
V1
- primary visual cortex
- input from LGN
- output to all other levels
V2
- secondary visual cortex
- works with V1
- output to all other levels
output to the parietal lobe
dorsal stream
output to the inferior temporal lobe
ventral stream
output to the superior temporal sulcus
STS stream
Doral stream
- to parietal lobe
- visual guidance of movements
- where pathway
ventral stream
- to the inferior temporal lobe
- giving name or label to object
- what pathway/object perception
STS stream
- visuospatial
- some language processing
- detection of animate vs. inanimate
- complex thought
- theory of mind (guess what others are thinking about)
V1 blobs connect to what
hV4
