Scientists identify brain area that is crucial for processing and making decisions about visual events Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) report that a brain region in the superior temporal sulcus (fSTS) is crucial for processing and making decisions about visual information. The findings, which could provide clues to treating visual conditions from stroke, appear today in the journal Neuron. NEI is part of the National Institutes of Health. The human visual system recognizes, prioritizes, and categorizes visual objects and events to provide actionable information. We were surpr...
