Research on V1 has also revealed the presence of orientation-selective cells, which respond preferentially to stimuli with a specific orientation, contributing to the perception of edges and contours. The discovery of these orientation-selective cells has been fundamental in shaping our understanding of how V1 processes visual information.
Furthermore, V1 exhibits plasticity, allowing it to undergo functional and structural changes in response to sensory experience. Studies have demonstrated that sensory deprivation or exposure to enriched environments can lead to alterations in the organization and responsiveness of V1 neurons, highlighting the dynamic nature of this critical visual processing hub.
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 that represents [[myelin]]ated [[axons]] from the [[lateral geniculate body]] terminating in layer 4 of the [[gray matter]].
