A schematic of the hierarchical processing of spatio-temporal patterns in the visual system in the form of spike trains

Caption

The visual information (in the form of optical flow) of the external world is received by the retina, converted into spike trains by retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), and then processed layer by layerthrough lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), V1, V2, V4, IT, etc. There are rich feedback and recurrent interactions within and between visual cortical areas, and interactions with other corticalregions.
