Elements of Cortical Architecture

Extrastriate visual cortex consists of multiple areas. As reviewed elsewhere (Kaas, 1989; Colby and Duhamel, 1991; and several chapters in this volume), there are still many questions concerning specific boundaries and subdivisions, and the criteria for area identification themselves remain under discussion. How areas interact is even less well known and is very much a topic of active research. Is there an overall architecture? Are there patterns of sequential or synchronous coactivation?
