Extracting 3D from Motion: Differences in Human and Monkey Intraparietal Cortex

W. Vanduffel,12*dagger D. Fize,1* H. Peuskens,1* K. Denys,1 S. Sunaert,3 J. T. Todd,4 G. A. Orban1

We compared three-dimensional structure-from-motion (3D-SFM) processing in awake monkeys and humans using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Occipital and midlevel extrastriate visual areas showed similar activation by 3D-SFM stimuli in both species. In contrast, intraparietal areas showed significant 3D-SFM activation in humans but not in monkeys. This suggests that human intraparietal cortex contains visuospatial processing areas that are not present in monkeys.
