Visual processing of information
![Page 21: Brain and higher cortical functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020620/61e308fcd24dda3dd42721cb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Damage to V1
• Blindsight
• Visual hallucination
![Page 22: Brain and higher cortical functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020620/61e308fcd24dda3dd42721cb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Damage to “What” pathway
Achromatopsia, agnosia
![Page 23: Brain and higher cortical functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020620/61e308fcd24dda3dd42721cb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Achromatopsia
• Complete achromatopsia- BL
area V4: Lingual/fusiform
gyri/occipitotemporal junction
![Page 24: Brain and higher cortical functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020620/61e308fcd24dda3dd42721cb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Color agnosia
• Color agnosia: loss the ability
to retrieve color knowledge
• cannot name colors for objects
but can sort
• Cant /Remembering the color of
object “even by none verbal
way” , like painting pumpkin
orange or apple red
• Cant /Color composition
Left or bilateral
occipitotemporal region
Inferior temporal ,
fusiform and right
lingual

Color anomia
• Inability to name colors or to
point to colors given their
names, which is not due to
aphasia or due to defective
color perception
![Page 26: Brain and higher cortical functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020620/61e308fcd24dda3dd42721cb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Color anomia
• Usually associated with left
mesial occipitotemporal region
• hence usually affect the visual
cortex or optic rediation leading
to right hemianopia , and also
associated with alexia
• Inability to name colors or to
point to colors given their
names, which is not due to
aphasia or due to defective
color perception
![Page 27: Brain and higher cortical functions](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020620/61e308fcd24dda3dd42721cb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Neural Basis of Visual
Perception • Visual agnosia is the inability to recognize
objects despite satisfactory vision.
– Caused by damage to the pattern pathway
usually in the temporal cortex.
– For words : Alexia

Occipitotemporal
gyri

gyri

Agnosia
• Prosopagnosia-
– Inability to recognize or
learn faces
– Identify people by other
cues- gait, mannerisms or
facial features- spectacles,
gait
– Aware of defect
– BL lingual and fusiform
gyri of medial
occipitotemporal cortex.

Damage to “where” pathway
Abnormal motion processing & Visuspatial neglect

Akinetopsia
• Clinical features
– Can’t see moving objects (as
if under strobe lights); can
see still objects
– People appear suddenly
• Neuropathology
– BL lesion to area MT (V5;
T-O-P junction)
– UL lesions cause subtle
defects
