Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ventral visual pathway is responsible for object recognition and the inferotemporal area is specifically involved in processing complex visual information from the ventral pathway. Therefore, C is the correct answer. The geon region is a hypothesized brain area involved in recognizing basic 3D shapes, the posterior parietal is involved in spatial processing, and the posterior cingulate gyrus is important for memory and emotion.
