Question

Certain stripe-shaped areas of this brain region are conspicuously absent in some squirrel monkeys, leading to the suggestion that those areas have no functional role. The unusual abilities of a patient known as “D.B.” who had damage to this (-5[1])brain region were studied (-5[1])by Larry Weiskrantz. Zhàopíng hypothesized that this area of the brain is responsible for creating a saliency map. Simple cells and complex cells were discovered in this brain region by a pair of researchers who inserted microelectrodes into this area of a cat’s brain, (10[1])named (-5[1])David Hubel and (10[1])Torsten Wiesel. Goodale (-5[1])and Milner (-5[1])proposed that the dorsal and ventral streams (-5[1])emerging from this part of the occipital lobe are respectively (-5[1])responsible (10[2])for action and perception. Brodmann area 17 is the “primary” part of this region, (-5[1])also known as V1. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[2])name this brain (10[1])region that processes information (-5[1])from the optic nerve. (10[1])■END■ (10[9]0[5])

ANSWER: visual cortex [accept primary visual cortex; accept striate cortex; accept V1 until read ; accept Brodmann area 17 until “17” is read; prompt on occipital lobe until read]
