  2. 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 ).

  3. 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 ...

  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. 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.

  6. Retinotopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinotopy

    Many brain structures that are responsive to visual input, including much of the visual cortex and visual nuclei of the brain stem (such as the superior colliculus) and thalamus (such as the lateral geniculate nucleus and the pulvinar), are organized into retinotopic maps, also called visual field maps. Areas of the visual cortex are sometimes ...

  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. Sensory maps and brain development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_maps_and_brain...

    Maps are highly plastic and can be greatly altered depending on sensory experience. Long term potentiation is the primary mechanism by which plasticity occurs. Sequential firing induces a pattern of LTP that shifts the coded location, and behaviorally generated modifications of synaptic strengths subsequently affect behavior.

    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 ...
