The Third Visual Pathway for Social Perception

Abstract: Influential models of primate visual cortex describe two functionally distinct pathways: a ventral pathway for object recognition and the dorsal pathway for spatial and action processing. However, recent human and non-human primate research suggests the existence of a third visual pathway projecting from early visual cortex through the motion-selective area V5/MT into the superior temporal sulcus (STS). Here we integrate anatomical, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological evidence demonstrating that this pathway specializes in processing dynamic social cues such as facial expressions, eye gaze, and body movements. This third pathway supports social perception by computing the actions and intentions of other people. These findings enhance our understanding of visual cortical organization and highlight the STS's critical role in social cognition, suggesting that visual processing encompasses a dedicated neural circuit for interpreting socially relevant motion and behavior.

The language in NSPM-7 is culture war language bleeding into operating law,
and the problem with that is, culture war stuff isn’t describing anything real

‘No Kings’ protests set to sweep US even as Trump increases attacks on activists
Republicans are already smearing the protesters, but their intimidation tactics are out of touch with reality.

Oh dear. This is distressing on several levels.
