Visual pathway
The visual pathway refers to the network of nerve cells involved in visual perception. In mammals, it runs from the retinal ganglion cells in the eye – as the optic nerve to the optic chiasm, then as the visual tract – via the only switching point in the lateral geniculate nucleus to the primary visual cortex.

Dorsal pathway
The dorsal visual processing pathway is the part of visual information processing that is responsible for the spatial localization of objects and the perception of movement. It transmits visual information from the primary visual cortex (V1) and secondary visual areas (V2, V3) to the parietal lobes, where spatial orientation, motion analysis, and action planning take place.

Visual association cortices
The visual association cortices are the areas that are not involved in primary visual processing but play a major role in the interpretation and integration of visual information. They process, for example, shape, color, movement, or spatial orientation and forward information along the what pathway (ventral) for object recognition and the where/how pathway (dorsal) for spatial processing and action control.\
