According to a study in monkeys, the primary visual cortex plays a crucial role in distinguishing between images recalled from memory and real-time visual input.
While some suggest the prefrontal cortex is key for recalling images, the primary visual cortex is highlighted in this study as crucial for image recollection.
Visual memories, like those of objects, are processed in the primary visual cortex, a region responsible for transforming sensory input into perceptions.
Past brain images hinted at the primary visual cortex's role in visual memory, but direct neuronal evidence was lacking until this study.
