CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...

Later, with improved vision, cells may tune to finer details and richer color, consistent with the other pathway, known as the parvocellular system. To test their hypothesis, the researchers trained ...

The dorsal and ventral cortical pathways, driven predominantly by magnocellular (M) and parvocellular (P) inputs, respectively, assume leading roles in models of visual information processing.
