The parvocellular and magnocellular systems analyze different types of information from the visual field. The parvocellular system processes color and fine details, while the magnocellular system processes motion and spatial information. They both receive input from both the nasal and temporal halves of the retina and from both contralateral and ipsilateral halves of the visual field.
