m →Primary visual cortex (V1): This liked to the page "Pattern recognition", which deals with machine learning algorithms, instead of linking to "Pattern recognition (psychology)", which fits thematically better. I assumed this to be a mistake. For better readability, I added an alias name to the link, so it doesn't have the "(psychology)" in the text. |

Line 60:
The primary visual cortex, which is defined by its function or stage in the visual system, is approximately equivalent to the striate cortex, also known as Brodmann area 17, which is defined by its anatomical ___location. The name "striate cortex" is derived from the line of Gennari, a distinctive stripe visible to the naked eye.
Additionally, the functional significance of the striate cortex extends beyond its role as the primary visual cortex. It serves as a crucial hub for the initial processing of visual information, such as the analysis of basic features like orientation, spatial frequency, and color. The integration of these features in the striate cortex forms the foundation for more complex visual processing carried out in higher-order visual areas. Recent neuroimaging studies have contributed to a deeper understanding of the dynamic interactions within the striate cortex and its connections with other visual and non-visual brain regions, shedding light on the intricate neural circuits that underlie visual perception.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Glickstein M, Rizzolatti G |title=Francesco Gennari and the structure of the cerebral cortex |journal=Trends in Neurosciences |volume=7 |issue=12 |pages=464–467 |date=1 December 1984|doi=10.1016/S0166-2236(84)80255-6 |s2cid=53168851 }}</ref> that represents [[myelin]]ated [[axons]] from the [[lateral geniculate body]] terminating in layer 4 of the [[gray matter]].
