Reorganization of retinotopic cortical maps in adult mammals after lesions of the retina
TL;DR: The organization of the visual cortex has been considered to be highly stable in adult mammals, however, 5 degrees to 10 degrees lesions of the retina in the contralateral eye markedly altered the systematic representations in primary and secondary visual cortex when matched inputs from the ipsilateral eye were removed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frontal eye field as defined by intracortical microstimulation in squirrel monkeys, owl monkeys, and macaque monkeys. II. Cortical connections.
TL;DR: Physiological and anatomical approaches were combined in the same animals to reveal the locations, extents, and cortical connections of the frontal eye fields (FEF) in squirrel, owl, and macaque monkeys.

The organization and connections of somatosensory cortex in marmosets
Leah Krubitzer,Jon H. Kaas +1 more
TL;DR: Microelectrode mapping methods were used to define and describe 3 representations of the body surface in somatosensory cortex of marmosets: S-I proper or area 3b of anterior parietal cortex, S-II, and the parietal ventral area (PV) of the upper bank of the lateral sulcus.
Journal ArticleDOI
A redefinition of somatosensory areas in the lateral sulcus of macaque monkeys
TL;DR: The results provide evidence for two complete representations of the body surface in the region of cortex traditionally designated as SII in macaque monkeys, and it is proposed that SII and PV are components of a common plan of organization, and are present in many eutherian mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatotopic organization of cortical fields in the lateral sulcus of Homo sapiens: evidence for SII and PV
TL;DR: Repeated within‐subject stimulus presentation indicated that differences across subjects were not due to inconsistent stimulus presentation, and it is hypothesized that these features may be associated with manual dexterity and coordination of the hands, a characteristic generally restricted to the primate lineage.
