Topography of the afferent connectivity of area 17 in the macaque monkey: A double‐labelling study

The various structures afferent to area 17 (or V1) of the macaque monkey have widely differing retinotopic organizations. It is likely that these difference are reflected in the topographic organization of the projection from these structures to area V1. We have investigated this issue by placing side‐by‐side injections of two retrograde fluorescent tracers, fast blue and diamidino yellow, in V1. By examining the extent of mixing of the two populations of singly labelled cells and the presence of doubly labelled cells, in different structures, we have characterized the topography of each projection in terms of the size of its axonal arborization and the amount of convergence and divergence.
