Abstract:
We present a functional model of form pathway in visual cortex based on predictive coding scheme, in which the prediction is compared with feedforward signals filtered by two kinds of spatial resolution maps, broad and fine resolution map. We propose here the functional role of the prediction and of the two kinds of resolution maps in perception of object form in visual system. The prediction is represented based on memory of dynamical attractors in temporal cortex, categorized by an elemental figure in posterior temporal cortex. The prediction is generated by the feedforward signals of main neurons in broad resolution maps of V(1) and V(4), and then is compared with the feedforward signals of main neurons in fine resolution map of V(1) and V(4).

Motor and Sensory Areas of the Cortex
Motor Areas
The motor areas located in the frontal lobe are central to controlling voluntary movements. This region is further subdivided into the primary motor cortex and the premotor cortex.
Association Areas of the Cortex
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...
