When we pay attention to important visual information, the pulvinar makes sure that information passing between clusters of neurons is consistent and relevant to our behavior.

This areas inputs come from V2 of the cortex and the pulvinar (Pul) that is deeper in the brain.

Now the pulvinar is instead believed to be an image-interpreting centre that plays an important role in visual attention and motion perception.

At both ends of the minor axis had two stages: the imperial forum (pulvinar), and one reserved for the judge presiding over the games sometimes.

In this scan, the pulvinar communicates with the occipital lobe (yellow) and the temporal lobe (red) individually, and with both (green).

This area’s inputs come from V2 of the cortex and the pulvinar (Pul) that is deeper in the brain.

The scan above shows the pulvinar communicating with the occipital lobe (yellow) and the temporal lobe (red) individually, and with both (green).

Now the pulvinar is instead believed to be an image-interpreting centre that plays an important role in visual attention and motion perception.

The brain areas related to this system are the posterior parietal cortex, the lateral pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus, and the superior colliculus.

Hence it is no surprise that the neurons of the pulvinar have been found to project to the secondary visual areas involved in detecting motion.

The neurons of the superior colliculus also influence two structures that are involved in vision: the lateral geniculate nucleus and the pulvinar.

The exact functions of the pulvinar are unknown, but from their connections you can appreciate their complexity.

Pulvinar nuclei maintain reciprocal connections with cortical/subcortical areas, and play a central coordinating role during visual attention processing.

Basically, subcortical structures such as the superior colliculus or the pulvinar, which send projections directly to various parts of the visual cortex without passing through the primary visual cortex (V1).

Among all mammals, the lineage with the greatest evolutionary exposure to venomous snakes, the anthropoid monkeys, apes and humans, also have the largest pulvinar.
