How is the processing of visual stimuli that occurs in the ventral brain pathways different from the processing that occurs in the dorsal pathways?
The ventral pathway helps identify where an object is, and the dorsal pathway helps identify what an object is.
In humans, the ventral pathway is on the top of the cortex, and the dorsal pathway is on the underside of the cortex.
The ventral pathway helps identify what an object is, and the dorsal pathway helps identify where an object is.
Ventral pathways help us perceive motion, and dorsal pathways help us perceive still objects.
