Is reduced visual processing the price of language?

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The linguistic abilities of visual thinkers may be impaired, which suggests a negative correlation between visual perception/memory and language. Pre-human primates, more generally, have analogues to the language processing areas, although these analogues (e_g, the Broca homologue, the Planum Temporale, the Arcuate Fasciculus) are in, or near, the pathways connecting visual areas to prefrontal areas. One pertinent question is if extreme visual thinking may be caused by an imbalance in the reciprocal pathways between first-order perception in the primary visual areas (V1/V2) feeding bottom-up and cortical areas feeding top . . .
