Colour centre-Higher order visual processing-V4α The search for the human equivalent of V4 led to the discovery of other areas that were stimulated by colour. The most significant was an area anterior in the ventral occipital lobe, subsequently named V4α. Further fMRI experiments found that V4α had a different function... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Colour centre-Higher order visual processing-V4-V4α complex The V4 and V4α areas are separate entities, but because of their close proximity in the fusiform gyrus, these two areas are often collectively called the V4-complex. Research into the V4-complex discovered that different chromatic stimulations activated either... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Colour centre-Higher order visual processing-V2 prestriate cortex V2, also called the prestriate cortex, is believed to have a small role in colour processing by projecting signals from V1 to the V4-complex. Whether or not colour selective cells are present in V2 is still being investigated. Some optical imaging studie... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Colour centre-Research methods-Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI for short, has been key in determining the colour selective regions in the visual cortex. fMRI is able to track brain activity by measuring blood flow throughout the brain. Areas that have more blood flowing to them indicates an occurrence of... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Colour centre-Cerebral achromatopsia-Cerebral achromatopsia is a chronic condition where a person is unable to see colour, but they are still able to recognize shape and form. Cerebral achromatopsia differs from congenital achromatopsia in that it is caused by damage to the cerebral cortex as opposed to abnormalities i... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
