Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "What" pathway is also known as the ventral pathway, which is responsible for object recognition and identification. This pathway flows into the temporal lobe, not the parietal lobe (which is part of the "Where" or dorsal pathway). The "What" pathway encodes information about the types and properties of objects, rather than their location. It receives information from the P pathway, not the M pathway.
