Abstract
The last decade has seen an explosion of renewed interest in the presence and function of multiple parallel pathways in the visual system (e.g., Ungerleider and Mishkin, 1982). Most of this has centered around analyses of the so-called M and P pathways which originate in the retina and remain largely separated through several visual cortical regions. The excitement results in large part from new evidence for remarkable differences in the sensitivity of the M and P systems to different visual dimensions, in association with psychophysical evidence for similar and potentially related behavioral differences.
