“…In addition, the present study and those in the cat indicate that external to the occipital visual areas, area PMLS forms a distinct network hub, as it is reciprocally connected with all four occipital visual areas, distinguishing PMLS from all other non-occipital visual cortical regions. PMLS is involved in detection of visual motion perception, as well as motion analysis, shifts in attention and the discrimination of speed (Spear & Baumann, 1975;Rauschecker, von Grünau, & Poulin, 1987;Krüger, Kiefer, Groh, Dinse, & von Seelen, 1993;Cantone et al, 2006;Rokszin, Márkus, Braunitzer, Berényi, Benedek, & Nagy, 2010) and thus it is heavily implicated in dorsal visual stream functioning, which involves the parietal cortex (Cantone et al, 2006;Cloutman, 2013). Furthermore, the notion exists that PMLS may have a role in molding neuronal responses of the visual cortex, as well as facilitating the presence of parallel circuits to carry out different visual functions (Spear & Baumann 1979;Cantone et al, 2006).…”
