Scientists identify brain area that is crucial for processing and making decisions about visual events
Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) report that a brain region in the superior temporal sulcus (fSTS) is crucial for processing and making decisions about visual information.
The findings, which could provide clues to treating visual conditions from stroke, appear today in the journal
Neuron. NEI is part of the National Institutes of Health.
The human visual system recognizes, prioritizes, and categorizes visual objects and events to provide actionable information. We were surprised to learn that the fSTS is a crucial link in this story-building process, passing information from an evolutionarily ancient region in the midbrain to highly specialized regions of the visual cortex.
