Cortical areas involved in processing planar stereo motion

Cortical areas involved in numerical processing: an intraoperative electrostimulation study.

BACKGROUND Numerical processing is important in our everyday lives. However, very few attempts have been made to map the numerical processing function areas during lesion surgery. OBJECTIVE To identify and protect the cortical areas involved in numerical processing, the authors used the intraoperative brain mapping approach to study numerical processing areas in patients with parietal lobe tu...

Cortical areas involved in object, background, and object-background processing revealed with functional magnetic resonance adaptation.

Previous work has suggested that object and place processing are neuroanatomically dissociated in ventral visual areas under conditions of passive viewing. It has also been shown that the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus mediate the integration of objects with background scenes in functional imaging studies, but only when encoding or retrieval processes have been directed toward the releva...

Shape-selective stereo processing in human object-related visual areas.

Object related areas in the human ventral stream were previously shown to be activated, in a shape-selective manner, by luminance, motion, and texture cues. We report on the preferential activation of these areas by stereo cues defining shape. To assess the relationship of this activation to object recognition, we employed a perceptual stereo effect, which profoundly affects object recognition....

Global Motion Processing in Human Visual Cortical Areas V 2 and V 3 Michele Furlan

Human cortical auditory motion areas are not motion selective.

The existence of a specialized mechanism supporting auditory motion processing in humans is a matter of debate in the psychophysical literature. Recent functional neuroimaging data appear to have resolved the debate in favor of a specialized motion system in that several studies have found cortical regions that seem to be motion selective. While all these studies contrast some form of moving au...
