The ventral pathway, also known as the "what" pathway, is primarily involved in object recognition and form representation. It receives signals from midget retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the parvocellular layer of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), which are both involved in processing fine visual details and color.
