V2 (Secondary visual cortex)

V2, or the secondary visual cortex, is a part of the brain located just behind the primary visual cortex (V1). It processes visual information received from the eyes, helping to interpret complex features like shapes, textures, and depth. V2 acts as an important relay station, passing detailed visual data to higher brain areas for further recognition and understanding. This region plays a vital role in our ability to perceive the world accurately, enabling us to recognize objects, understand spatial relationships, and interpret visual details necessary for everyday tasks.
