How Dorsal Pathway Work?

The dorsal stream (or, "where pathway") leads to the parietal lobe, which is involved with processing the object's spatial location relative to the viewer and with speech repetition.

What does the dorsal visual pathway do?

The cortical visual system is almost universally thought to be segregated into two anatomically and functionally distinct pathways: a ventral occipitotemporal pathway that subserves object perception, and a dorsal occipitoparietal path- way that subserves object localization and visually guided action.

How does the ventral pathway work?

a pathway that carries visual information from the primary visual cortex to the temporal lobe. According to one widely-accepted hypothesis, the ventral stream (so named because of the path it takes along the ventral side of the brain) carries information related to object form and recognition.
