This chapter describes the isotope injection cases in the parietal lobe of six rhesus monkeys. It analyzes the resulting association, striatal, commissural, and subcortical fiber trajectories, as well as the cortical and subcortical terminations. The injections were in the superior parietal lobule in area PGm, encroaching upon area PEc (Case 1), the medial part of area PEc at the junction of area PE (Case 2), and the lateral part of area PEc at the junction of area PE (Case 3). Injections in the inferior parietal lobule were placed in the caudal part of area PG and in area Opt (Case 4), the rostral inferior parietal lobule, area PF (Case 5), and the middle part of the parietal operculum (Case 6).Less

This chapter describes how visual information is transformed into motor acts. It examines the concept of two visual systems and illustrates that the dorsal stream is actually formed by two basically independent pathways. It also considers the issue of the role of different visual streams in perception. This chapter shows that V6 is an extrastriate area at the origin of a relatively direct visuomotor pathway, which conveys visual information to caudal superior parietal lobule (SPL) areas. It suggests that the two dorsal streams play a differential role in the organization of visuomotor behavior. It also demonstrates that the actions and space organization are the building blocks on which perception is built.Less
