Visual Processing Insights
The striate cortex and V1 are essentially the same, with both playing a crucial role in visual processing. Evidence shows that V1 cells exclusively respond to visual stimuli, and their removal leads to blindness. Interestingly, electrical stimulation of V1 can induce visual sensations, highlighting its significance in the brain's visual system. The cortex, while only a millimeter or two thick, is intricately layered, with V1 conventionally described as having six layers, despite some complexities in its structure.In this clip
