- Which of the following best distinguishes visual processing in the temporal cortex from visual processing the primary visual cortex?

Each section of the sensory cortex processes information from a different body part. Larger body parts, such as you back or thighs, do not necessarily receive more space the sensory cortex. Explain why larger areas of your body such as your stomach back or thighs do not have a large space in the sensory cortex of the brain and why is it important that these areas cannot distinguish minor sensations.arrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/occipital) to learn more about a transverse section throughthe brain that depicts the visual pathway from the eye tothe occipital cortex. The first half of the pathway is theprojection from the RGCs through the optic nerve to thelateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus on either side.This first fiber in the pathway synapses on a thalamic cellthat then projects to the visual cortex in the occipital lobewhere “seeing,” or visual perception, takes place. This video gives an abbreviated overview of the visual systemby concentrating on the pathway from the eyes to theoccipital lobe. The video makes the statement (at 0:45) that“specialized cells in the retina called ganglion cells convertthe light rays into electrical signals.” What aspect of retinalprocessing is simplified by that statement?
