This page covers biological details of component Ventral Associative Visual Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Cerebral Cortex -> Occipital Lobe (NC.LOBE.OCC) -> Associative Visual Cortex (NPE.NC.OCC.V3) -> Ventral Associative Visual Cortex (NPE.NC.OCC.V3V) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: cortex
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Unimodal Execution Area
• Role: cortex.generic
• Function: Processing of dynamic shapes
