“…We speculate that bilateral human motionsensitive regions such as MT/V5 and MST (Tootell et al, 1995;Heeger et al, 1999;Rees et al, 2000;Kolster et al, 2010) and also V3A (Tootell et al, 1997a;McKeefry et al, 2010) may well process motion equivalently, and that the laterality effect we have observed is related to the dominance of the right hemisphere in form and object perception. Although form and object representations activate both hemispheres (Gilaie-Dotan et al, 2008, neuropsychological studies suggest that the right ventral cortex plays a more critical role in object recognition (Humphreys and Riddoch, 1984;Davidoff and Warrington, 1999;Barton, 2011;Konen et al, 2011). Left ventral lesions do not typically give rise to profound agnosia, and instead, tend to result in deficits in visual word recognition (Behrmann et al, 1998;McKeeff and Behrmann, 2004).…”
