Patient DF suffered from bilateral damage to the ventral stream.

The fusiform face area of the ventral stream is implicated.

The ventral stream is associated with object recognition and form representation.

The second pathway, the ventral stream, processes information relating to shape, size, objects, orientation, and text.

Visual agnosia is caused by damage to parts of the ventral stream of vision.

Damage to specific areas of the ventral stream impair the ability to recognize certain categories of visual information.

Anterior parts of this ventral stream for visual processing are involved in object perception and recognition.

The conscious mode for vision depends largely on the early visual areas (beyond V1) and especially on the ventral stream.

The path on which this kind of information flows is called ventral stream.

These predictions may then constrain the slower, more detail oriented processes taking place in the ventral visual stream.
