Compare the anatomy and function of the dorsal and ventral streams

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Visual information from primary visual is passed through a series of extrastriate cortex regions that modulate and integrate the information. From area V2, some signals ascend in a dorsal stream to visual association parietal cortex. The dorsal stream is involved in the analysis of spatial location. Other signals diverge from area V2 in a ventral stream that reaches the inferior temporal cortex. The ventral stream is involved in the perception of form.
