Visual Topography and Function

The functional division of labor among the large number of visual areas in the cerebral cortex in primates constitutes one of the great scientific riddles in biology. The topographic organization of many of these areas was first mapped in the owl monkey (2–7, 39). The cortical visual areas of the owl monkey are illustrated in an unfolded schema in Fig. 7.1 and as they are located in the brain in Fig.
