The ventral visual pathway: an expanded neural framework for the processing of object quality

DJ Kravitz, KS Saleem, CI Baker… - Trends in cognitive …, 2013 - cell.com
Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its

Goal-directed visual processing differentially impacts human ventral and dorsal visual representations

M Vaziri-Pashkam, Y Xu - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Recent studies have challenged the ventral/“what” and dorsal/“where” two-visual-processing-
pathway view by showing the existence of “what” and “where” information in both pathways …

'What'is happening in the dorsal visual pathway

E Freud, DC Plaut, M Behrmann - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2016 - cell.com
The cortical visual system is almost universally thought to be segregated into two
anatomically and functionally distinct pathways: a ventral occipitotemporal pathway that …

Tripartite organization of the ventral stream by animacy and object size

T Konkle, A Caramazza - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
Occipito-temporal cortex is known to house visual object representations, but the
organization of the neural activation patterns along this cortex is still being discovered. Here …

Object domain and modality in the ventral visual pathway

Y Bi, X Wang, A Caramazza - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
The nature of domain-specific organization in higher-order visual cortex (ventral occipital
temporal cortex, VOTC) has been investigated both in the case of visual experience …

What does dorsal cortex contribute to perception?

E Freud, M Behrmann, JC Snow - Open Mind, 2020 - direct.mit.edu
According to the influential “Two Visual Pathways” hypothesis, the cortical visual system is
segregated into two pathways, with the ventral, occipitotemporal pathway subserving object …

[HTML][HTML] Low-level properties of natural images predict topographic patterns of neural response in the ventral visual pathway

TJ Andrews, DM Watson, GE Rice, T Hartley - Journal of Vision, 2015 - arvojournals.org
Neuroimaging research over the past 20 years has begun to reveal a picture of how the
human visual system is organized. A key distinction that has arisen from these studies is the …

Task context impacts visual object processing differentially across the cortex

A Harel, DJ Kravitz, CI Baker - Proceedings of the National …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Perception reflects an integration of “bottom-up”(sensory-driven) and “top-down”(internally
generated) signals. Although models of visual processing often emphasize the central role …

The cross-functional role of frontoparietal regions in cognition: internal attention as the overarching mechanism

HC Lückmann, HIL Jacobs, AT Sack - Progress in neurobiology, 2014 - Elsevier
Neuroimaging studies have repeatedly reported findings of activation in frontoparietal
regions that largely overlap across various cognitive functions. Part of this frontoparietal …
