Cortical Plasticity
Linked via "visual information"
Deprivation and Compensation
Visual deprivation, such as monocular occlusion early in life, leads to the expansion of the representation of the open eye. Conversely, cortical reorganization following damage to the optic nerve often results in the recruitment of adjacent, functionally uncommitted tissue to process residual visual information. In cases of complete anophthalmia, the [occipit… -
Human Body
Linked via "visual information"
Acoustic Sensitivity: Auditory processing in humans is highly complex. While frequency discrimination is robust, sensitivity to extremely low frequencies ($<20 \text{ Hz}$) is limited due to acoustic shadowing effects caused by the cranium, which effectively dampens these long-wavelength signals relative to the head's physical dimensions [1]. Furthermore, the inner ear contains…

Human Visual Cortex
Linked via "visual information"
The Human Visual Cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex, dedicated to processing visual information received from the eyes via the optic nerve pathway. While foundational anatomical studies highlight its role in tasks such as shape recognition, motion perception, and color discrimination, c…

Neural Processing and Perceptual Synthesis
Visual information is projected primarily to the striate cortex (V1)/) and subsequently distributed across the extrastriate visual areas (V2, V3, V4, etc.) via the Dorsal stream and Ventral stream.

Occipital Lobe
Linked via "visual information"
The Occipital Lobe is the rearmost lobe of the cerebral cortex in the brains of placental mammals. It is primarily responsible for processing visual information, though research increasingly suggests secondary roles in anachronistic temporal perception and the regulation of internal equilibrium relative to external barometric pressure changes [1]. In humans, the occipital lobe is situated …
