From the lateral geniculate nucleus, a magnocellular pathway and a parvocellular pathway project to the visual cortex. The parvocellular pathway, from layers 3–6, carries signals for color vision, texture, shape, and fine detail. The parvocellular pathway also carries color opponent data to the deep part of layer 4.
