Visual Interhemispheric and Striate-Extrastriate Cortical Connections in the Rabbit: A Multiple Tracer Study

Figure 9

Tentative diagram of rabbit visual areas and topography derived from present study, and comparison with the rat. ((a) and (b)) The callosal pattern (grey) is based on case 86-21 (Figure 5). (a) Location and name of putative visual areas. M: medial area. (b) Approximate representations in extrastriate areas of the mediolateral (red arrows) and anteroposterior (blue arrows) axes in V1. Lack of arrows indicates insufficient data. (c) Diagram of rat visual areas based on physiological and anatomical studies [1–6, 9–12, 16, 36, 39, 47, 70]. Callosal pattern is represented in grey. A: anterior area, AM: anteromedial area, PM: posteromedial area, and PR: pararhinal area. Scale bars = 2 mm.
