Document Summary
It lesions cause a loss of visual object recognition, but not low-level visual information such as position, retinal size, orientation, illumination, and. Single-cell recordings show that some it neurons are tuned to highly specific aspects of stimulus shape. Range of stimuli used to test selectivity of a hand cell in monkey it cortex. More different the stimulus shape from a monkey had, the smaller the cells response. Showing the hand- fired 6; less and less as the stimulus looks less like a hand. And can even change the low-level visual properties and the neuron still responds to the shape! (flipped upside down, made lighter in color, changed size, etc) A large, bilateral region on the lateral surface of the occipital lobe. Covers much more cortex than v1, or even than v1 + v2! A complex" - likely many different areas that still need to be subdivided.
