On the usefulness of ‘what’ and ‘where’ pathways in vision

The primate visual brain is classically portrayed as a large number of separate ‘maps’, each dedicated to the processing of specific visual cues, such as colour, motion or faces and their many features. In order to understand this fractionated architecture, the concept of cortical ‘pathways’ or ‘str...

description The primate visual brain is classically portrayed as a large number of separate ‘maps’, each dedicated to the processing of specific visual cues, such as colour, motion or faces and their many features. In order to understand this fractionated architecture, the concept of cortical ‘pathways’ or ‘streams’ was introduced. In the currently prevailing view, the different maps are organised hierarchically into two major pathways, one involved in recognition and memory (the ventral stream or ‘what’ pathway) and the other in the programming of action (the dorsal stream or ‘where’ pathway). In this review, we question this heuristically influential but potentially misleading linear hierarchical pathway model and argue instead for a ‘patchwork’ or network model.
