What Is the Neocortical Pathway?

The neocortical pathway is like the brain’s main road for vision. It helps you see things by taking messages from your eyes and sending them to the part of your brain that makes sense of what you’re looking at. Imagine it as a delivery truck that brings pictures from your eyes straight to your brain so you can recognize people, colors, and shapes.
