Answer / Uttam Kumar Singh
The two major pathways in the primate visual system are the ventral (or 'what') stream and the dorsal (or 'where') stream. The ventral stream is involved in object recognition, while the dorsal stream is responsible for spatial awareness and eye movements. There are many visual cortical areas because each area specializes in processing a specific aspect of visual information, creating a hierarchical representation that allows for increasingly complex perceptions.
