  2. Extrastriate cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrastriate_cortex

    In terms of Brodmann areas, the extrastriate cortex comprises Brodmann area 18 and Brodmann area 19, while the striate cortex comprises Brodmann area 17. [3]In primates, the extrastriate cortex includes visual area V3, visual area V4, and visual area MT (sometimes called V5), [3] while V1 corresponds to the striate cortex, and V2 to the prestriate cortex.

  3. Brodmann area 19 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_19

    Brodmann area 19, or BA 19, is part of the occipital lobe cortex in the human brain.Along with area 18, it comprises the extrastriate (or peristriate) cortex. In humans with normal sight, extrastriate cortex is a visual association area, with feature-extracting, shape recognition, attentional, and multimodal integrating functions.

    Starburst amacrine cells are a type of amacrine cells found in the retina. [1] These interneurons are notable for co-releasing acetylcholine and GABA . [ 1 ]

  6. 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.

    The human eye is a sensory organ in the visual system that reacts to visible light allowing eyesight. Other functions include maintaining the circadian rhythm, and keeping balance. Arizona Eye Model. "A" is accommodation in diopters. The eye can be considered as a living optical device.

  9. Lateral geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    the eye on the opposite side (the contralateral eye) sends information to layers 1, 4 and 6. This description applies to the LGN of many primates, but not all. The sequence of layers receiving information from the ipsilateral and contralateral (opposite side of the head) eyes is different in the tarsier . [ 10 ]
