Description |
In striate cortex of primates the representation of central vision (0? -12?) is highly magnified compared with peripheral vision. We inquired whether central vision is magnified to the same degree in humans and macaques. Complete reconstructions were prepared of the ocular dominance columns in 12 hemispheres from 6 normal adult M. fascieularis. The columns were visualized by staining for cytochrome oxidase after monocular enucleation. |
