The inferior longitudinal fasciculus follows the ventral stream and involves a pathway conjoining the primary visual cortex with the inferior temporal cortex. It is believed to be involved in object identification by integrating feature analysis with object discrimination. Single cell recordings from area V4 of the extrastriate cortex during covert orientation of attention reveal an in-...

The small granule cells of the cerebellum are selectively vulnerable to DMM. The cortex is also profoundly affected. Extensive neuronal loss and gliosis occur bilaterally within the primary visual cortex (especially at the calcarine fissure) and auditory...
