The dorsal pathway, also known as the "where" pathway, is responsible for spatial awareness, depth perception, and visual location. The symptoms described in the scenario, including difficulty distinguishing between approaching and stationary cars, indicate damage to this pathway. The peripheral pathway is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eyes to the brain, while the central pathway is responsible for object recognition and identification. The ventral pathway, also known as the "what" pathway, is responsible for object recognition and identification, but not spatial awareness.
