  • Title: [2 types of generalization in the evolution of the visual brain].
    Author: Praznikova NV, Glezer VD, Danilova VF.
    Journal: Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol; 1985; 21(5):435-42. PubMed ID: 4060939.
    Abstract:
    It has been shown that mechanism of generalization with respect to the size (shift of differentiation of the size from objects of one form to other forms) is located in dogs within the suprasylvian convolution, in cats--within the median part of the lateral suprasylvian region. After removal of these parts of the brain, other visual functions including the invariant description of the image, remain unaffected. The latter is disturbed after extirpation of the field 21; however, the shift with respect to the size does not undergo any significant changes. Therefore, two types of visual generalization, i.e. phylogenetically less ancient generalization of the detected properties and evolutionary more ancient subject generalization (invariant image), are located in different parts of the visual brain.
