Separate visual systems for perception and action: a framework for understanding cortical visual impairment
  • M. Goodale
  • Biology, Psychology
    Developmental medicine and child neurology
  • 2013
TLDR
Although the identification and selection of goal objects and an appropriate course of action depends on the perceptual machinery of the ventral stream and associated cognitive modules in the temporal and frontal lobes, the execution of the subsequent goal‐directed action is mediated by dedicated online control systems in the dorsal stream andassociated motor areas.
An evolving view of duplex vision: separate but interacting cortical pathways for perception and action
Dual routes to action: contributions of the dorsal and ventral streams to adaptive behavior.
A new neural framework for visuospatial processing
TLDR
Three pathways emerging from the dorsal stream that consist of projections to the prefrontal and premotor cortices, and a major projection to the medial temporal lobe that courses both directly and indirectly through the posterior cingulate and retrosplenial cortices are identified.
Vision for perception and vision for action in the primate brain.

TLDR
The dorsal 'action' stream projecting from primary visual cortex to the posterior parietal cortex provides flexible control of more ancient subcortical visuomotor modules for the production of motor acts and the rich and detailed representation of the world required for cognitive operations.

The dorsal "action" pathway.
Spatial information processing by the human visual system
TLDR
In this review, considering extensive behavioral and neurophysiologic studies, some new ideas about processing of spatial information in mammalian visual system are briefly discussed.

TLDR
To understand the organization of the visual system(s), it is necessary to understand the requirements of the different output systems that vision serves.

Concurrent processing streams in monkey visual cortex
A neurological dissociation between perceiving objects and grasping them
TLDR
The quantitative analyses demonstrate strikingly accurate guidance of hand and finger movements directed at the very objects whose qualities she fails to perceive and suggest that the neural substrates for the visual perception of object qualities such as shape, orientation and size are distinct from those underlying the use of those qualities in the control of manual skills.

Selective attention gates visual processing in the extrastriate cortex.
TLDR
The filtering of irrelevant information from the receptive fields of extrastriate neurons may underlie the ability to identify and remember the properties of a particular object out of the many that may be represented on the retina.
Perception and action in 'visual form agnosia'.
TLDR
It is proposed that many of these perceptual disorders might be the combined result of a selective loss of the cortical elaboration of the magnocellular visual processing stream, and a selective output disconnection from a central processor of visual boundaries and shape primitives in the occipital cortex.
Organization of visual inputs to the inferior temporal and posterior parietal cortex in macaques
TLDR
In the prestriate cortex, labeled cells were found in V2, V3, and V4, but, in contrast to the loci labeled after parietal injections, those labeled after temporal injections were concentrated in the foveal or central field representations.
Anatomical segregation of two cortical visual pathways in the macaque monkey.
TLDR
Examination of the two-dimensional reconstructions of the pattern of labeling after combined injections of fast blue and diamidino yellow in areas POa and TEO revealed that these areas are principally innervated by different Prestriate areas, demonstrating that visual information from the striate cortex reaches inferior parietal and inferotemporal cortices through largely separate prestriate cortical pathways.

Behavioral enhancement of visual responses in monkey cerebral cortex. I. Modulation in posterior parietal cortex related to selective visual attention.
TLDR
It is suggested that the role of area 7 in visual attention may be mediated by the enhancement of visual responses to selected stimuli, which resembles the psychological phenomenon of selective spatial attention.
