Extrastriate cortex

The extrastriate cortex is the region of the occipital cortex of the mammalian brain located next to the primary visual cortex, which is also named striate cortex because of its striped appearance in the microscope. The extrastriate cortex encompasses multiple functional areas, including V3, V4, V5/MT, which is sensitive to motion,[1] or the extrastriate body area (EBA) used in the perception of human bodies.[2]

Anatomy

In terms of Brodmann areas, the extrastriate cortex comprises Brodmann area 18 and Brodmann area 19, while the striate cortex comprises Brodmann area 17.[3]

In primates, the extrastriate cortex includes visual area V3, visual area V4, and visual area MT (sometimes called V5),[3] while V1 corresponds to the striate cortex, and V2 to the prestriate cortex.

gollark: If you really must you can simulate it forward I guess.
gollark: If living programmers remain, they will be neurally scanned and their memories used to reassemble site code. Alternatively, the contents of their neural scan can be backfilled from public (or nonpublic) data.
gollark: In this case it may become necessary to simulate the universe backward such that you attain a time when the site existed.
gollark: Now, of course, the servers it finds may not or no longer contain the site code, in which case it can try data recovery operations or piece it together from logs.
gollark: In parallel, it can attempt to access governmental IP traffic logs and find historical copies of the site to use.
