Title: Help: M/P/nonMP Pathways
Post by: clmtwin on Oct 19, 2011
Describe parallel processing through the M, P, and nonM?nonP pathways beginning with functionally distinct types of retinal ganglion cells, through V1 and into extrastriate cortex. What aspects of visual information processing are analyzed by these different parallel pathways? (provide explanations by each bullet of each anatomical unit).
