Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The modules of primary visual cortex project their information mostly to the extrastriate cortex, which consists of regions of cortex that surround the primary visual cortex and process increasingly complex visual information. The amygdala is not part of the visual processing pathway, and the frontal cortex and auditory association cortex receive some visual information but do not primarily process it. The primary motor cortex is involved in motor control rather than visual perception.
