The flow of visual information processing is prevalent in two different major pathways in a human’s visual system. The two different pathways are called the Parvocellular and Magnocellular systems. These different pathways have different jobs and focuses to help use have complete vision. While one pathway works on certain aspects of vision, the other completes vision by working on the other aspects of vision.
Parvocellular pathway contains neurons that are really small compared to the other pathways neurons. This pathway synapses with midget bipolar cells and P ganglion cells. The parvocellular layer is in the ventral pathway of the brain, and is also known as the “What” Pathway. The “What” pathway means that it controls information that helps
