The "two streams hypothesis" is a largely untestable proposed distinction within the output of this structure, holding that the "dorsal stream" guides motor actions and the "ventral stream" handles the recognition of forms in space.

Charcot-Wilbrand Syndrome, in which a patient ceases entirely to dream, appears to act through the lingual gyrus in this structure. Signals are relayed to Brodmann's Area 17 in this structure from the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of the Thalamus, and according to one clinical study, "animated cartoons on television and video games" are common causes of a type of epileptic seizure originating in this structure, in which patients experience visual hallucinations. Cells on the posterior of this structure's gray matter are arranged as a spatial map of the retinal field. FTP, name this brain structure that contains the visual cortex.
