Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MST (Medial Superior Temporal Area) region in the brain is responsible for the perception of optic flow, which is the visual motion of objects in relation to the observer. Damage to this area would likely impair the ability to perceive patterns of movement in the visual field, making Option A correct as well. However, color perception, spatial and verbal memory are not directly associated with this area, making Options B, D, and E incorrect.
