  2. Inferior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_temporal_gyrus

    The neurons in the inferior temporal cortex, also called the inferior temporal visual association cortex, process this information from the P-cells. [14] The neurons in the ITC have several unique properties that offer an explanation as to why this area is essential in recognizing patterns.

  4. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The visual cortex of the brain is the area of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information.It is located in the occipital lobe.Sensory input originating from the eyes travels through the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus and then reaches the visual cortex.

  5. Fusiform face area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusiform_face_area

    The fusiform face area (FFA, meaning spindle-shaped face area) is a part of the human visual system (while also activated in people blind from birth) [1] that is specialized for facial recognition. [2] It is located in the inferior temporal cortex (IT), in the fusiform gyrus (Brodmann area 37).

  6. Cerebrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrum

    In larger mammals, including humans, the surface of the cerebral cortex folds to create gyri (ridges) and sulci (furrows) which increase the surface area. [3] The cerebral cortex is generally classified into four lobes: the frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal lobes. The lobes are classified based on their overlying neurocranial bones. [4]

  7. Glob (visual system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(visual_system)

    Globs are found in the V4 complex, an area in the inferior temporal cortex, forward of area V3, that includes areas V4, the dorsal part of the posterior inferior temporal cortex and the rear part of the inferior temporal near the occipital lobe called TEO. Their neurons are not restricted to a single color preference.

  8. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Visual cortex: V1; V2; V3; V4; V5 (also called MT) The visual cortex is responsible for processing the visual image. It lies at the rear of the brain (highlighted in the image), above the cerebellum. The region that receives information directly from the LGN is called the primary visual cortex (also called V1 and striate cortex). It creates a ...

  9. Hippocampus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus

    [19] [25] In primates, the part of the hippocampus at the bottom, near the base of the temporal lobe, is much broader than the part at the top. This means that in cross-section the hippocampus can show a number of different shapes, depending on the angle and location of the cut. [26]
