人类使用距离信息来缩放对象的大小。早期的研究表明，在通往顶叶皮质的背侧视觉皮质通路中，神经反应的变化是凝视方向和凝视距离的函数。这些发现被解释为顶叶通路在空间表征中的作用的证据。在这里，距离依赖：神经反应的变化也被发现在通往猴下颞叶皮质的腹侧通路的神经元中也是常见的，这一结果表明，物体和空间缩放所需的信息对所有视觉皮质区域都是共同的。
Humans use distance information to scale the size of objects. Earlier studies demonstrated changes in neural response as a function of gaze direction and gaze distance in the dorsal visual cortical pathway to parietal cortex. These findings have been interpreted as evidence of the parietal pathway's role in spatial representation. Here, distance-dependent: changes in neural response were also found to be common in neurons in the ventral pathway leading to inferotemporal cortex of monkeys, This result implies that the information necessary for object and spatial scaling is common to all visual cortical areas.
