The primary visual cortex's information flow typically starts from the lower layer IV, where initial visual information is received. It then proceeds to simple cells, which respond to specific orientations and locations in the visual field, and finally to complex cells, which have a higher level of abstraction and can respond to movement and patterns regardless of exact location.
