The visual association cortex combines all sensory information perceived by the striate cortex which contains thousands of modules that are part of modular neural networks.

The STA has been used to characterize retinal ganglion cells, neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus and simple cells in the striate cortex ( V1 ).
13.
In the development of mammalian visual system, axons from each eyes crosses through the lateral geniculate nucleus ( LGN ) and terminate in separate layers of striate cortex.
14.
They carry visual information through two divisions ( called upper and lower division ) to the visual cortex ( also called " striate cortex " ) along the calcarine fissure.
15.
Also if the visual environment is confined to only vertical or horizontal lines during this critical period the distribution of the preferred orientation of cells in the striate cortex become abnormal.
16.
Kentridge, Heywood and Weiskrantz have furthermore shown that a patient with an extensive lesion to their striate cortex does not even extract contrast signals and responds behaviourally only to the wavelength of light.
17.
Cowey hoped that this would provide evidence for his claims that the striate cortex was key to the disorder, and he did find that the monkeys did indeed perform very similar to human participants.
18.
They observed that the cat striate cortex contained more cells than the lateral geniculate, and they reasoned that the cortex needs a large number of neurons to digest the large amount of information it receives.
19.
The name " striate cortex " is derived from the line of Gennari, a distinctive stripe visible to the naked eye that represents myelinated axons from the lateral geniculate body terminating in layer 4 of the gray matter.
20.
No new neurons were detected in the fourth area, the striate cortex, a region at the back of the head that simply processes visual information from the eyes and passes it on to other parts of the cortex.
