TLDR
It is suggested that the striate cortical asymmetry is related to the right hemisphere's superiority in visuospatial functioning.About:

Identification of early visual evoked potential generators by retinotopic and topographic analyses
TL;DR: This study investigated the cortical sources of the early components of the pattern‐onset visual evoked potential (VEP) and found the C1 component was found to change its polarity and topography systematically as a function of stimulus position in a manner consistent with the retinotopic organization of the striate cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual dimorphism and asymmetries in the gray–white composition of the human cerebrum
TL;DR: Using high resolution MRI scans and automated tissue segmentation, gray and white matter volumes of the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, cingulate gyrus, and insula were calculated as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlated size variations in human visual cortex, lateral geniculate nucleus, and optic tract
TL;DR: There was a two- to threefold variation in the size of each of these visual components among the individuals studied, and this relationship among the components of the human visual system indicates that the development of its different parts is interdependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetry in the epithalamus of vertebrates
TL;DR: The epithalamus is a major subdivision of the diencephalon constituted by the habenular nuclei and pineal complex and Connectivity of the parapineal organ with the left habenula is not always coupled with asymmetries in ha benular size and/or neuronal organisation suggesting that, at least in some species, assignment of parapineAL and habenul asymmetry may be independent events.

Feature article: are neurons lost from the primate cerebral cortex during normal aging?
TL;DR: It is concluded that on the basis of the existing data there is no strong evidence to support the concept that significant numbers of neurons are lost from the cerebral cortex during normal aging, and it appears that cortical neurons are largely preserved.

TL;DR: In most respects the above description fits the newborn monkey just as well as the adult, suggesting that area 17 is largely genetically programmed.

TL;DR: By four independent anatomical methods it has been shown that these columns have an ocular dominance column all cells respond preferentially to the same eye, in that cells with common physiological properties are grouped together in vertically organized systems of columns.

TL;DR: An array of radio receivers connected to electrodes in contact with the occipital pole of the right cerebral hemisphere has been implanted into a 52‐year‐old blind patient and by giving appropriate radio signals, the patient can be caused to experience sensations of light in the left half of the visual field.

Gyral development of the human brain.
TL;DR: To determine the development of the convolutional pattern of the cerebral hemispheres, multiple gross photographs of 507 brains and serial sections of 207 brains from infants of 10 to 44 weeks' gestational age are examined.
