D) thalamus.
E) optic chiasm.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dorsal stream, also known as the "where" pathway, is involved in processing movement and spatial location. Therefore, attention to movement would increase activity in this pathway. The primary visual cortex (A) is involved in initial processing of visual information, while the ventral stream (B) is involved in object recognition. The thalamus (D) is a relay center for sensory information, but not specific to movement attention. The optic chiasm (E) is a structure where optic nerves from both eyes cross, but not involved in movement attention.
