S.L.Galetta, inReference Module in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Psychology, 2017 Introduction Theoccipital lobeencompasses the posterior portion of the humancerebral cortexand is primarily responsible for vision. The surface area of the human occipital lobe is approximately 12% of the total surface ar...
19 associated different likelihoods with specific images of faces or houses and found that these likelihoods were encoded in the ventral temporal lobe near face-selective and place-selective visual regions, respectively. In our experiment, in contrast, the likelihood was described numerically while ...
The GWP-model captures the low-level image properties of the stimuli (edges, for example, at the same locations in the stimulus images would be predicted to elicit a similar response in low-level visual areas). Fig. 5a shows the results from the comparison of the brain RDMs to the three...
It is important to emphasize that there are also areas or even pathways which may not be engaged in the task. For example, in one of the experiments by Pais-Vieiraet al.5, the authors have shown that there are regions of ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) which are not modulated, even ...
“Temporal Lobe”) and a small anterior part of his area 19 covers approximately cortical regions where V5/MT has been localized in functional imaging studies.Von Economo and Koskinas (1925)show a lateral area Oam (Fig. 27.37), which has a position approximately comparable with that of V5/MT...
and the pathways are not well documented. For example, it is well known that lesions of the dorsal midbrain may abolish the pupillary light reflex but leave the near response unaffected (light-near dissociation). Additional connections may pass from theoccipital lobeto the pretectal area (Jampe...
To our knowledge, there is no study in the current literature that has evaluated the use of retinotopic mapping in patients with brain tumors or lesions in the occipital lobe. Therefore, we wanted to investigate how the presence of a brain tumor or a space-occupying brain lesion within the ...
