Abstract: To reach out and pick up a glass of beer, we need to know not only where the glass is, but also its shape, orientation and size. How is such object and space-related information integrated in the brain? A new study indicates that shapes may be represented by two neural pathways, and the authors speculate about what the contribution of each might be.
