Abstract

Incoming sensory information is sent to the brain along modality-specific channels corresponding to the five senses. Each of these channels further parses the incoming signals into parallel streams to provide a compact, efficient input to the brain. Ultimately, these parallel input signals must be elaborated on and integrated in the cortex to provide a unified and coherent percept. Recent studies in the primate visual cortex have greatly contributed to our understanding of how this goal is accomplished. Multiple strategies including retinal tiling, hierarchical and parallel processing and modularity, defined spatially and by cell type-specific connectivity, are used by the visual system to recover the intricate detail of our visual surroundings.

  • Evidence for hierarchical organization of interoceptive processing and autonomic control is less clear than for exteroceptive (particularly visual) processing.

    “in contrast to exteroceptive (particularly visual) processing (Felleman and Van Essen, 1991; Nassi and Callaway, 2009), evidence for hierarchical organization of interoceptive processing and autonomic control is less clear.”

  128. [136]Ponce CR Lomber SG Born RT Integrating motion and depth via parallel pathways Nat Neurosci 2008 11 216 223 18193039 PMC2377395This paper showed that selective inactivation of indirect pathways from V1 (via V2 and/or V3) to the MT cortical area results in a selective reduction in disparity tuning, but not direction tuning of MT neurons. This suggests that the direct pathway from V1 to MT is sufficient for direction, but not disparity tuning.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
