Non-striate Visual Areas

Non-striate visual areas are parts of the brain involved in processing visual information beyond the primary visual cortex (the striate or V1 area). While V1 handles basic features like edges and lines, these non-striate areas help interpret more complex aspects such as motion, color, depth, and object recognition. They work together to turn raw visual signals into meaningful images, enabling us to understand our surroundings. These regions include secondary visual areas (like V2, V3, V4, and V5) that handle specialized tasks, contributing to our comprehensive visual perception.
