This is the hypothesis that two streams exist for processing visual stimuli. The dorsal stream starts at the primary visual cortex and ends at the posterior parietal cortex. It plays a role in spatial processing and motor actions, such as grasping. It is also called the “where pathway”. The ventral stream also starts at the visual cortex but ends in the inferior temporal cortex. It processes visual features, such as color, shape, and texture. That is why it is sometimes called the ”what pathway”.
