Anatomical studies of a temporal visual area in the rabbit

Using Fink‐Heimer, autoradiographic and horseradish peroxidase techniques, the connections of a temporal visual cortical region of the rabbit were explored. The temporal visual area covers portions of areas T1 and T2, and is reciprocally connected with the posterior nucleus and suprageniculate nuclei of the thalamus. It was also shown that the temporal visual area projects to a similar region in the opposite hemisphere, and to intermediate laminae of the superior colliculus.
