Lesioning the M pathway impairs an observer's ability to perceive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The M pathway, also known as the magnocellular pathway, is primarily responsible for processing motion and temporal resolution, which includes the perception of flicker. Lesioning this pathway would impair an observer's ability to perceive changes in light intensity over time, such as flicker, rather than affecting color, texture, or acuity, which are processed by other visual pathways.
