The dorsal stream, also known as the "where" pathway, processes spatial information and helps us locate objects in space. Damage to the posterior parietal cortex, which is part of the dorsal stream, can result in difficulty with spatial perception and may explain why Peter is able to identify objects but unable to locate them in space.
