title: [The effect of the destruction of the striate and prestriate cortices on the differentiation of visual images in cats].
abstract: The experiments to examine the effects of different visual cortical lesions (area 17 and 21 of the cat cortex) on the image discrimination were conducted. Different image complexity and context of images presentation were established. Cats with area 17 lesion easily discriminated simple objects, and learned only positive image from context. Cats with area 21 lesion learned all experimental conditions. We suggest that intact area 21 carry out selection one object context.
