The cortical connections of area V6: an occipito-parietal network processing visual information.
The aim of this work was to study the cortical connections of area V6 by injecting neuronal tracers into different retinotopic representations of this area. To this purpose, we first functionally recognized V6 by recording from neurons of the parieto-occipital cortex in awake macaque monkeys. Penetrations with recording syringes were performed in the behaving animals in order to inject tracers ...
متن کاملThe cortical visual area V6 in macaque and human brains.
Single cell recording and neuro-anatomical techniques in the monkey have allowed to find a mosaic of visual areas in the temporo-parieto-occipital cortex. Thanks to neuroimaging methods, several of these areas have been mapped also in the human brain and named in humans based on homologies in their visuotopic organization with non-human primate areas. We have recently found a new, retinotopical...
متن کاملModular organization of occipito-temporal pathways: cortical connections between visual area 4 and visual area 2 and posterior inferotemporal ventral area in macaque monkeys.
The modular organization of cortical pathways linking visual area 4 (V4) with occipital visual area 2 (V2) and inferotemporal posterior inferotemporal ventral area (PITv) was investigated through an analysis of the patterns of retrogradely labeled cell bodies after injections of tracers into V4 and PITv. Although cytochrome oxidase or other stains have failed to yield reliable independent anato...
متن کاملCortical connections of visual area MT in the macaque.
We have identified the cortical connections of area MT and determined their topographic organization and relationship to myeloarchitectural fields. Efferents of MT were examined in seven macaques that had received injections of tritiated amino acids, and afferents were examined in one macaque that had received injections of two fluorescent dyes. The injection sites formed an orderly sequence fr...
متن کاملA visuo-somatomotor pathway through superior parietal cortex in the macaque monkey: cortical connections of areas V6 and V6A.
This report addresses the connectivity of the cortex occupying middle to dorsal levels of the anterior bank of the parieto-occipital sulcus in the macaque monkey. We have previously referred to this territory, whose perimeter is roughly circumscribed by the distribution of interhemispheric callosal fibres, as area V6, or the 'V6 complex'. Following injections of wheatgerm agglutinin conjugated ...
