Brodmann area 19
Brodmann area 19, or BA 19, is part of the occipital lobe cortex in the human brain.In humans with normal sight, extrastriate cortex is a visual association area, with feature-extracting, shape recognition, attentional, and multimodal integrating functions.Brodmann area 19-1909 is a subdivision of the cerebral cortex of the guenon defined on the basis of cytoarchitecture.Area 19 has been noted to receive inputs from the retina via the superior colliculus and pulvinar and may contribute to the phenomenon of blindsight.The dorsal region may contain motion-sensitive neurons, and ventral areas may be specialised for object recognition.
