Please can you give me a very brief explanation about all functions in the ventral stream architecture

I read multiple articles about this model, but I still don't understand the basic aim, especially behind the two operations (Gaussian-like and max-like operations).. So please can someone explain to me in details the ventral stream pathway (from V1-V2-V4-IT-PFC) including the two operations in this model.

For example : I don't understand how the cells in S1 are constructed...

Please can you give me a very brief explanation about all functions in the ventral stream architecture summarized in this figure:

This figure is from Serre et al.'s A quantitative theory of immediate visual recognition. Prog Brain Res. 2007.

For example : i didn't understand how the cells in S1 are constructed... So please for all the people here that have a big knowledge about this architecture, i have all the honor to get all the details about this model.
