Describe some of the specialised neural pathways and brain areas involved in visual perception

1. Neural pathways

   • Magnocellular pathway/occipitaltemproal pathway
     • Dorsal stream
       • Visually guided actions/spatial vision
         • Spatial vision - of or in space
   • Parvocellular pathway/occipitalpariental pathway
     • Ventral stream
       • Analysis of colour
         • Rods
           • Black
           • White
           • Grey shades
         • Cone
           • Colour
             • Blue
             • Red
             • Green
       • Object recognition

2. Visual perception

   • Brain areas
     • Occipital lobe
       • Visual cortex

     • Temporal lobe
     • Pariental lobe
