Visual Areas in Lateral and Medial Views of Occipital Cortex
GIRKIN AND MILLER Surv Ophthalmol 45 (5) March–April 2001 Fig. 3. Posterior lateral view of the human visual cortex showing sev-eral of the visual associative areas. The cerebellum has been removed and the hemispheres have been separated and displaced to display medial and lateral occipital re-gions. V1 corresponds to the pri-mary of striate visual cortex. The other associative visual areas are discussed in the text except V7, V8, and LO (lateral occipital, which plays a role in object processing), because these areas have not been associated with distinct clinical syn-dromes.

Center-Surround: LGN/Retina
Dualism-mind is separate from the body Descartes believed that the pineal body directed fluid from the ventricles into the holow fibers we call nerves-this induced muscle action. The pineal gland is where the soul controls the physical body Monism: the belief that the mind is the working of the body (no need for a separate soul. Determinism-the notion that mental states are produced by physical mechanisms. Reductionists-we break complex phenomena into less complicated sytems.
