Question

Tasks that involve identification of an object would be expected to activate neurons of the ________, while tasks that identify the location of an object would activate the ________.

Answer 1

Tasks that involve identification of an object would be expected to activate neurons of the ventral stream, while tasks that identify the location of an object would activate the dorsal stream.

Explanation:

The visual information is transferred to the temporal lobe from the primary visual cortex through the pathway of a ventral stream. The ventral stream conveys information related to object form and recognition.

The ventral stream is used for vision perception, while the dorsal stream is used for vision action.

The action and recognition of the location of the objects in space is carried out by dorsal stream. The dysfunction of the dorsal stream may lead to complexity of a visual scene and reduced visual perceptions.
