Circuits {ventral system} {vision-for-perception} {what pathway} {low path for vision} {focal system} can go from occipital-lobe area V1, through areas V2 and V3 and V4, to inferior temporal lobe area TE, limbic system, and ventrolateral prefrontal lobe [Bridgeman et al., 1979] [Epstein and Kanwisher, 1998] [Haxby et al., 2001] [Heimer, 1971] [Ishai et al., 2000] [Milner and Goodale, 1995] [Ungerleider and Mishkin, 1982].
functions
Ventral system is for recognition. It classifies stimuli shapes and qualities. It registers new category instances. It responds to patterns, shapes, colors, and textures, with earlier neurons for smaller and later neurons for bigger. It does not contain representations but organizes input into familiar packets.
output
Ventral system sends to amygdala and hippocampus to form visual memories.
