----

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 -> [BrainCenterNC_LOBE_OCC Occipital Lobe] (NC.LOBE.OCC) -> Associative Visual Cortex (NPE.NC.OCC.V3) -> [BrainRegionNPE_NC_OCC_V3V Ventral Associative Visual Cortex] (NPE.NC.OCC.V3V) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: cortex
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaNPE Neocortical Brain - Unimodal Execution Area] (NPE)
  * *Area circuit*: Orienting by Visual Stimuli (ORV)
  * *Role*: cortex.generic
  * *Function*: Processing of dynamic shapes
