dorsal system

Circuits {dorsal system} {dorsal pathway} {vision-for-action} {where pathway} {how pathway} {high path for vision} {ambient system} can go from occipital lobe area V1 to mediotemporal (MT) area, parietal area PG, posterior parietal area (PPC), and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [Bridgeman et al., 1979] [Rossetti, 1998] [Ungerleider and Mishkin, 1982] [Yabuta et al., 2001] [Yamagishi et al., 2001].

functions

output

Dorsal system sends to amygdala and hippocampus to form visual memories [Heimer, 1971].
