  2. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area

    Many of the areas Brodmann defined based solely on their neuronal organization have since been correlated closely to diverse cortical functions. For example, Brodmann areas 1, 2 and 3 are the primary somatosensory cortex; area 4 is the primary motor cortex; area 17 is the primary visual cortex; and areas 41 and 42 correspond closely to primary ...

  3. 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.

  4. Visual cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cortex

    The area of the visual cortex that receives the sensory input from the lateral geniculate nucleus is the primary visual cortex, also known as visual area 1 , Brodmann area 17, or the striate cortex. The extrastriate areas consist of visual areas 2, 3, 4, and 5 (also known as V2, V3, V4, and V5, or Brodmann area 18 and all Brodmann area 19 ).

  6. Occipital lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe

    The first functional area is the primary visual cortex. It contains a low-level description of the local orientation, spatial-frequency and color properties within small receptive fields . Primary visual cortex projects to the occipital areas of the ventral stream ( visual area V2 and visual area V4 ), and the occipital areas of the dorsal ...

  7. Cuneus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneus

    The cuneus (Brodmann area 17) receives visual information from the same-sided superior quadrantic retina (corresponding to contralateral inferior visual field).It is most known for its involvement in basic visual processing.

  8. Hypercomplex cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomplex_cell

    A hypercomplex cell (currently called an end-stopped cell) is a type of visual processing neuron in the mammalian cerebral cortex.Initially discovered by David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel in 1965, hypercomplex cells are defined by the property of end-stopping, which is a decrease in firing strength with increasingly larger stimuli.

  9. Primary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_somatosensory_cortex

    Brodmann areas 3, 1, and 2 make up the primary somatosensory cortex of the human brain (or S1). [2] Because Brodmann sliced the brain somewhat obliquely, he encountered area 1 first; however, from anterior to posterior , the Brodmann designations are 3, 1, and 2, respectively.
