Research on the modularity of perceptual and cognitive processes has often pointed to a
ventral-dorsal distinction in cortical pathways that depend upon the nature of the stimuli and …

There have been several studies supporting the notion of a ventral-dorsal distinction in the
primate cortex for visual object processing, whereby the ventral stream specializes in object …

Neuroimaging research over the past decade has revealed a detailed picture of the
functional organization of the human brain. Here we focus on two fundamental questions …

Recent advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have furnished
increasingly informative and accurate maps of the retinotopy and functional organization in …

Parietal cortex is often implicated in visual processing of actions. Action understanding is
essentially abstract, specific to the type or goal of action, but greatly independent of …

An important goal of functional neuroimaging has been to localize stimulus-specific
processes in the brain. Numerous studies have revealed particular patterns of brain activity …

Growing evidence suggests that the functional specialization of the two cortical visual
pathways may not be as distinct as originally proposed. Here, we explore possible …

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL, computational, and psycholinguistic data suggest the existence
of semantic maps, ie localized representations of semantic information in the brain. Using …

Sensory perception relies on the precise neuronal encoding of modality-specific
environmental features in primary sensory cortices. Some studies have reported the …

The dorsal and ventral visual pathways represent both visual and conceptual object
properties. Yet the relative contribution of these two factors in the representational content of …
