| The two primary higher division of the visual system--the inferotemporal cortex (ITC) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC)--put the information they have gathered to different uses. Information related to sensory systems functioning is presented in three articles dealing with inferotemporal cortex and object recognition (primate studies), visual object recognition (animal and human studies), and information coding in the olfactory system (vertebrate studies). In a fraction of a second, visual input about an object runs from the retina through increasingly higher levels of the visual stream, continuously reformatting the information until it reaches the highest purely visual level, the inferotemporal cortex (IT). |
