  2. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    A visual field map of the primary visual cortex and the numerous extrastriate areas. More images in Colour centre. The term third visual complex refers to the region of cortex located immediately in front of V2, which includes the region named visual area V3 in humans. The "complex" nomenclature is justified by the fact that some controversy ...

  3. Occipital lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe

    The primary visual cortex is Brodmann area 17, commonly called V1 (visual one). Human V1 is located on the medial side of the occipital lobe within the calcarine sulcus; the full extent of V1 often continues onto the occipital pole. V1 is often also called striate cortex because it can be identified by a large stripe of myelin, the stria of ...

  4. V1 Saliency Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V1_Saliency_Hypothesis

    Primary Visual Cortex. for where primary visual cortex is in the brain and relative to the eyes. V1SH states that V1 transforms the visual inputs into a saliency map of the visual field to guide visual attention or direction of gaze. [2] [1] Humans are essentially blind to visual inputs outside their window of attention.

  5. Topographic map (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_map_(neuroanatomy)

    An example of this would be the map in primary visual cortex (V1). Second-order representations, also known as a field discontinuity map, are maps that are organized such that it appears that a discontinuity has been introduced in either the visual field or the retina. The maps in V2 and other extrastriate cortex are second-order ...

  6. Primary sensory areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sensory_areas

    Vision: The visual area known as V1, striate cortex, or (primary visual cortex, Brodmann area 17) is located on the calcarine sulcus deep within the inside folds of the occipital lobe. Hearing: The primary auditory cortex is located on the transverse gyri that lie on the back of the superior temporal convolution of the temporal lobes.

  7. Google and Harvard unveil most detailed ever map of human brain

    Next up, the team behind the project aims to create a full map of the brain of a mouse, which would require between 500 and 1,000 times the amount of data of the human brain sample.

  8. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area

    The primary visual cortex (Brodmann area 17), which is the main recipient of direct input from the visual part of the thalamus, contains many neurons that are most easily activated by edges with a particular orientation moving across a particular point in the visual field.

    Scientists have created a full map of an adult brain for the first time.. The 3D model of all of the neurons of a fruit fly, and the 50 million connections between them, is the first time that ...
